Boavista Football Club, often known simply as Boavista, is a Portuguese professional football team based in Porto. Founded in 1903, the club has a rich history and plays its home games at Estádio do Bessa, a stadium with a capacity of approximately 28,000 seats.
Traditionally adorned in black-and-white chequered jerseys, which have earned them the nickname "As Panteras" (The Panthers), Boavista has established itself as one of the prominent clubs in Portuguese football. Although it has mostly played in the shadow of the more dominant FC Porto, also from the city of Porto, Boavista has enjoyed periods of success.
Historically, the pinnacle of Boavista's achievements came in the 2000-2001 season when they won the Primeira Liga, the top tier of Portuguese football. This marked their first and only championship title as of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, making them one of the few teams outside the traditional "Big Three" (Benfica, Porto, Sporting CP) to win the league.
Over the years, Boavista has also performed respectably in European competitions, having participated in the UEFA Cup (now known as the Europa League) and the UEFA Champions League, though without any major silverware to show for these campaigns.
At the domestic level, aside from their Primeira Liga triumph, Boavista has won the Portuguese Cup on five occasions and the Portuguese Super Cup three times. The club has tended to fluctuate between the Primeira Liga and the LigaPro, the second division of Portuguese football, particularly in the 21st century due to financial and administrative difficulties.
Boavista is known for its passionate fan base and its academy, which has produced several notable players who have gone on to play for both national and international teams. Despite experiencing a turbulent period, including a significant setback due to a match-fixing scandal that led to relegation in 2008, the club has worked towards rebuilding its status within Portuguese football and remains a respected institution in the sport.
