Wikipedia - Liga Portugal 2
The Liga Portugal 2 (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈliɣɐ puɾtuˈɣal dojʃ]), also known as Liga Portugal Meu Super for sponsorship reasons, is the second-highest division of the Portuguese football league system. At the end of each season, the two top-finishing teams are promoted to the top-tier Liga Portugal and the two lowest-ranked teams are relegated to the third-tier league. Starting with the 2021–22 season, relegated teams will no longer compete in the Campeonato de Portugal, which will become the fourth tier, but in a newly created third-level competition named Liga 3 (League 3).
The division began in 1990 as the Segunda Divisão de Honra (Second Division of Honour), superseding the Segunda Divisão (Segunda Divisão) as the second tier of Portuguese football. When the division came under the auspices of the Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional (LPFP) in 1999, it was renamed the Segunda Liga (Second League), a name that was kept until 2016, except between 2005 and 2012, when it was known as the Liga de Honra (League of Honour). Rebranded as LigaPro in 2016, the competition assumed its current naming in the early stages of the 2020–21 season.
As of the 2018–19 season, it is contested nationwide by 18 teams, including the reserve sides (B teams) of several top-flight clubs. Twenty different teams have won the division title; the most successful is Paços de Ferreira, with four wins, including the inaugural season and the most recently concluded 2018–19 season.
History
Before 1990, there was only one professional nationwide football league in Portugal, the Primeira Divisão (First Division). Lower placed teams were relegated to the Segunda Divisão (Second Division), a regional league, while the top teams from that league were promoted to the First Division. Starting with the 1990–91 season, a new second-tier professional league was created, taking the name Segunda Divisão de Honra, while the previous Segunda Divisão became the third-tier league and was renamed Segunda Divisão B.
In 1999, the Portuguese League for Professional Football (LPFP) took control of the two nationwide levels and renamed the league Segunda Liga (Second League), while in 2005 it was renamed Liga de Honra and the Segunda Divisão B reverted to its original name. In 2012, the second tier of Portuguese football was renamed again Segunda Liga and in 2016 it was renamed LigaPro.
Known for its fast-paced and skillful style of play, the Portugal Segunda Liga showcases some of the best up-and-coming talent in Portuguese football. Many young players use this tournament as a stepping stone to showcase their abilities and catch the attention of top-tier clubs.
The tournament follows a round-robin format, where each team plays against every other team twice, once at home and once away. The season typically runs from August to May, with teams battling it out for points to secure their position in the league table.
Promotion to the Primeira Liga is highly coveted, and the top two teams at the end of the season earn automatic promotion. The third-placed team gets a chance to compete in a playoff against the 16th-placed team from the Primeira Liga for a spot in the top division.
The Portugal Segunda Liga is known for its passionate fan base, with supporters filling the stadiums to cheer on their favorite teams. The atmosphere is electric, creating an unforgettable experience for both players and spectators.
Throughout its history, the tournament has produced some memorable moments and iconic players who have gone on to achieve success at both domestic and international levels. The Portugal Segunda Liga is a breeding ground for talent and a platform for teams to showcase their skills and ambition.
Whether you are a die-hard football fan or simply enjoy watching competitive matches, the Portugal Segunda Liga offers thrilling action, intense rivalries, and the opportunity to witness the future stars of Portuguese football.
