History
editAfter several years in the second division, Naval first promoted to the first level in 2005, after finishing in second position behind Paços de Ferreira. In its first season in the top flight, the club finished in 13th position, finally moving up to 12th after the resolutions on the "Mateus Affair", which involved Gil Vicente and Belenenses.
In the following three years, Naval ranked between places 11–13, also reaching the Taça de Portugal quarter-finals twice. In 2009–10, former Sporting CP, Porto and Portugal national team great Augusto Inácio led the Figueira da Foz team to its best season ever, an eight-place finish in the league and the semi-finals of the domestic cup, a 1–3 aggregate loss against Chaves.[1]
Naval returned to division two at the end of the 2010–11 season, after two coaching changes. Highlights included a 2–1 home win against Benfica and a 3–3 draw at Sporting CP.[2] In April 2013, the club were deducted 12 points by order of world football governing body FIFA, due to outstanding debts to two teams in Brazil; another relegation followed.[3]
Due to legal solutions, the club was forced to change its name to Associação Naval 1893. The club last played in the Honor Division (Coimbra Football Association).[4]
