History
editFounded in 1979, and the oldest Portuguese professional cycling team in continuous operation, it became professional in 1980.[2] José Manuel Brito da Mana, known simply as Brito da Mana, was its founder and one of the longest-serving directors of the team, leaving the post in 2003.[3] For several years, the team was sponsored by Atum Bom Petisco, a leading Portuguese canned tuna brand.[4][5] From 2016 until 2019, the team had the commercial designation of Sporting Clube de Portugal/Tavira, as the result of a sponsorship from Sporting Clube de Portugal.[6] In 2022, the Clube de Ciclismo de Tavira celebrated an agreement with SC Farense valid for three years.[7]
