Wikipedia - C.D. Cova da Piedade
Clube Desportivo Cova da Piedade is a football club established in the parish of Cova da Piedade, municipality of Almada, Portugal. The club merged with B-SAD, in an attempt of the former to retain their position currently in Liga 3, the third tier of Portuguese football, but they weren't granted license and were relegated to distrital championships.
History
Clube Desportivo Cova da Piedade was founded on 28 January 1947, resulting from the merge between União Piedense Futebol Clube, founded on 9 April 1914, and Sporting Clube Piedense. Cova da Piedade's current president is Paulo Veiga.
Promotion to LigaPro
On 30 April 2016, Cova da Piedade were promoted for the first time ever to the professional second-tier (all previous presences in the second-tier were prior to the creation of Segunda Divisão de Honra in 1990) after beating Angrense 2–1, confirming the first place on Campeonato de Portugal, South Zone, with two more matches still to play. They won the third-tier championship title on 5 June 2016, against North Zone winners Vizela.
Relegation to Liga 3
Cova da Piedade failed to produce valid licensing documentation to compete in the 2021–22 season of the Liga Portugal 2, so they were punished by the Portuguese Professional Football League with direct relegation to the Liga 3.
Merger with B-SAD
On 7 March 2023, the boards of Cova da Piedade and B-SAD (an offshoot of C.F. Os Belenenses) announced a merger, taking the league position of B-SAD while retaining the name and facilities and Cova da Piedade. Cova da Piedade had not played senior football since being expelled from Liga Portugal 2 in 2021, while B-SAD had been renting the Estádio Nacional from the state while using distant facilities for training. In June, B-SAD was relegated from the second tier after a 2–1 playoff defeat to Länk FC Vilaverdense, meaning that the fused club would begin life in Liga 3.
The team's home matches are held at the Estádio Municipal José Martins Vieira, a venue that fosters an intimate and vibrant atmosphere, allowing fans to connect closely with the action on the pitch. Cova de Piedade is recognized for its commitment to developing young talent, often serving as a stepping stone for players aspiring to make their mark in higher leagues.
With a strong community focus, the club emphasizes the importance of local support and engagement, making it a beloved institution in the region. Cova de Piedade continues to strive for success, aiming to climb the ranks of Portuguese football while maintaining its core values of teamwork, dedication, and sportsmanship.
