F.C. Alverca is a Portuguese club based in Alverca do Ribatejo, currently competing in the Liga 3, the third tier of Portuguese football. The club plays its home matches at the Complexo Desportivo do F.C. Alverca. Founded in 1939, Alverca is historically known for its strong youth academy, which has produced talents like Ricardo Quaresma. The team's colors are green and white. Alverca's most notable period came in the late 1990s and early 2000s when, backed by the Portuguese Air Force, they achieved promotion to the Primeira Liga and even participated in the UEFA Cup. That era featured a competitive squad that punched above its weight. In the modern era, the club has settled as a fixture in the third division, occasionally challenging for promotion. The club's identity remains tightly linked to its prolific youth system, which continues to supply players to higher levels, and to a committed local fanbase that fills the compact stadium on matchdays.
