Sporting Clube de Portugal (Portuguese pronunciation: [sɨˈpɔɾtĩ ˈkluβɨ ðɨ puɾtuˈɣal]), otherwise referred to as Sporting CP or simply Sporting, is a professional basketball team based in Lisbon, Portugal, which represents the sport's section within parent club Sporting CP.

The team competes in the Liga Portuguesa de Basquetebol (LPB), the top-tier domestic league, and plays its home matches at Pavilhão João Rocha. The current head coach is Luís Magalhães.

History

Basketball was introduced in Sporting Clube de Portugal in 1927.

In 1995, basketball stopped being one of the sports practiced in the club, returning in 2012, just with the women's team.

In 2019, the men's team was refounded after 24 years. Sporting submitted a proposal to go directly into the 2019–20 Liga Portuguesa de Basquetebol with their men's team. In a league meeting in November of 2018 between all the league teams, Sporting's acceptance into the LPB was confirmed.[1]
