Team Info
União de Leiria is a Portuguese football club based in the city of Leiria, currently competing in Liga Portugal 2, the second tier of Portuguese football. The club plays its home matches at the Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa, a modern stadium built for Euro 2004. Founded in 1966, the team is known for its red and black striped shirts. União de Leiria was formed from the merger of two local clubs and rose to prominence in the late 1990s and 2000s, enjoying a memorable peak era under coach Manuel José. That period saw them achieve a historic third-place finish in the Primeira Liga in 2003 and qualify for the UEFA Champions League, with a squad featuring players like Derlei and Nuno Assis. After financial difficulties led to a dramatic fall, the modern era has been about rebuilding. Recently promoted back to the second tier, the club is ambitiously seeking a return to the top flight. The fan base is passionate and hopeful, filling the stadium with noise. União de Leiria is a phoenix club with dreams of reliving its glorious past.
