Clube Desportivo Trofense (pronounced as /pt/), commonly known as Trofense, is a Portuguese football club based in Trofa, Portugal. Founded in 1930, it plays in Liga 3, holding home games at Estádio do Clube Desportivo Trofense, with a capacity of 5,017 spectators.^[1]

Club colours are red and blue (related to the badge).

History

In the 2005–06 season, Trofense played in the Portuguese Second Division, winning its group by six points.^[2] The club then progressed to a playoff that decided promotion to the second level, with Serie B winners A.D. Lousada; Trofense won in an emotional game, only decided on the 20th penalty, scored by goalkeeper Vítor.^{[3] [4]}

In 2007–08 (having finished 11th in the league the previous season), Trofense achieved a first ever promotion to the top division, and conquered its second piece of silverware, winning by a small margin over Rio Ave FC (the first four teams were separated by just two points).^[5]

On 4 January 2009, Trofense managed a historical home win, beating S.L. Benfica 2–0, courtesy of Reguila and FC Porto loanee Hélder Barbosa, that then placed the side above the relegation zone. The following week, it achieved a 0–0 draw at the Estádio do Dragão against Porto, but the club would be eventually relegated.^{[6] [7] [8]}
