Sporting Clube de Portugal has a professional handball team based in Lisbon, Portugal, since 1932, and plays in Andebol 1. The club is one of the most decorated handball clubs in Portugal, having won 42 national titles and 2 international titles.

History

Handball was introduced in Sporting Clube de Portugal in 1932.

Sporting dominated Portuguese handball, particularly in the sixties and seventies and even in the eighties, with emphasis on the period from 1966 to 1973, in which seven National Championships were won in eight possible, five of which were consecutive, with a mythical team that became known as Os Sete Magníficos.

In 1995, Sporting fans were forced to choose the modalities to keep in the club, due to financial problems, having chosen handball and futsal, leading to the closure of the basketball, hockey and volleyball sections (which returned in the meantime).

Facilities

Pavilhão João Rocha

Pavilhão João Rocha is a multi-sports pavilion located in the parish of Lumiar, in Lisbon. Located next to the Estádio José Alvalade, it is the home of Sporting CP sports. In honor of one of the most distinguished figures in the history of Sporting, the pavilion was named after former club president, João Rocha, who remained in office from September 1973 to October 1986. Its inauguration took place on the day 21 June 2017.
