2002/03 · Home

In 2002/03 Sporting took the field as champions, with the title badge on the sleeve. The season opened with the Supertaça, but João Vieira Pinto could not return until October: FIFA had banned him for four months for striking the referee in Portugal’s World Cup game against South Korea. He came back wearing 25 and finished with eight goals in 25 league games. It was also the year Bölöni launched Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice against Moreirense on 7 October 2002. Sporting finished third.

Reebok separated the white shoulder panel with a black line, and the green hoops are made of fine green and black lines. It has PT on the chest and Banco Espírito Santo on the back.

Here at Hoopster, this is the shirt of the only season João Pinto and Ronaldo shared the Alvalade dressing room.
