2022/23 · Home

Kelme dressed the birthday with its cat's paw beside the reason for the party: 110 ANOS on the chest, Leça FC 110 Anos at the neck and the year's 22 on the sleeves, over hoops crossed by a pixelated pattern. The sponsors are the whole town: the council's Matosinhos brand writ large, rena and OportoCar on the back, where Titi's 7 lives.

It served in 2022/23, in the Campeonato de Portugal, with the club halfway up a ramp: behind lay a promotion won on the pitch and denied at the desk in 2021 and the cup run that only stopped at the quarter finals, with Sporting visiting Leça; ahead waited the Campeonato de Portugal title, won at the Jamor in 2025.

Here at Hoopster this piece holds a birthday celebrated on the way up: 110 years of a club that has tasted the elite, known the pit and turned its eyes upward again.
