Sport Clube Borbense will compete in the Elite Division in the 2026/2027 season
Sport Clube Borbense has accepted the invitation from the Évora Football Association to take up a place in the Elite Division, a competition in which the senior team will compete during the 2026/2027 season.
Sport Clube Borbense has been invited by the Évora Football Association to take up a place in the Elite Division. When we spoke to those who will be at the heart of this challenge, the response was clear and unequivocal: there is complete willingness, commitment and ambition. In light of this new situation, we have unanimously decided to accept the invitation, meaning that Sport Clube Borbense will compete in the Elite Division during the 2026/2027 season.
This decision was taken with a strong sense of responsibility and a full awareness of the demands that this league entails. Preparations for the new season were already well under way, characterised by rigour, organisation and ambition; our objective is now to establish and consolidate Sport Clube Borbense at the very highest level of district football in Évora. We maintain that promotion to this competitive level must be earned through sporting merit. However, we also believe that we have a duty to recognise and seize opportunities that arise when they can represent an important step towards our growth. As a club with a long-standing reputation for youth development, we believe this is an opportunity to bring the senior team closer to the reality of our youth system, providing our young players with a more demanding competitive environment where they can continue to grow and dream without having to seek other paths. We want our senior team to increasingly reflect the quality of the work carried out daily in our youth teams.
We know the road ahead will be demanding. There will be difficulties, moments of overcoming challenges and a great deal of hard work ahead. But we also know that great challenges are overcome through unity, commitment, humility and identity. It is, therefore, time for us all to fulfil our roles.
We ask the players and the coaching staff for dedication, commitment and pride in representing this club. As for our members, supporters, sponsors and all true Borba residents, we ask that you stand by our side.
This challenge belongs to us all, and it is with everyone’s support that we will continue to honour the history of Sport Clube Borbense and build an even more ambitious future. Together, we will continue to help Sport Clube Borbense grow.
