History
editThe club was founded in 1912 as Esperança F.C. and became the delegation number 2 of Sporting Clube de Portugal (Sporting CP). This formal link with the Lisbon-based sports club was eventually terminated by the board of Esperança de Lagos in the post-war era.[3][4]
As a child, Eric Dier spent a year living in Lagos where he briefly played in the youth football team of Esperança de Lagos[5] before moving to Lisbon and joining the Sporting CP Youth Academy.[6][7]
