History

Moreirense was founded in 1938. It first reached the second division in 1995, returning again six years later, and immediately promoting to the top flight. Manager Manuel Machado lead the northerners for two consecutive seasons, from 2002–04, in which Moreirense achieved two mid-table positions, finishing ninth in the latter season.
After Machado departed for neighbouring Vitória de Guimarães, the club suffered two consecutive relegations, only returning again to the second level in 2010, and the first in 2012. After an immediate relegation, the team won the 2013–14 Segunda Liga under manager Toni Conceição.
Moreirense achieved its first top level national title on 29 January 2017, winning the League Cup by defeating S.C. Braga in the final.
In 2018–19, manager Ivo Vieira led Moreirense to a best-ever sixth place, missing out on the UEFA Europa League only on goal difference to Vitória de Guimarães, who Vieira left the club for.
