The Foundation, and the first steps
Football was introduced to Portugal by the Pinto Basto brothers when they returned from their studies in England, among the aristocrats. The story goes that the first game to be played was in Cascais in October 1888, and since then the fashion of the game spread all over the country.
In Lisbon, the aristocrats had the 'Clube Lisbonense', who played in Cascais in the summer, in Belas and Sintra in September, and in the capital for the rest of the year, but they didn't let younger people play.
The emblem of Sport Club de Belas. It has a blue belt with gold trim on a white background and golden SCB initials.
On the 26th of August, 1902, the Gavazzo brothers founded Sport Clube de Belas, but their existence was short, playing only in a 3-0 victory over Sintra. However, this game was honoured with the presence of the King, and consequently was featured in the press, who reported that the event attracted over 4,000 people, filled with enthusiasm and interest in the game, and thus identified the Belas as a young group with good families.

The headquarters of Campo Grande Football Club was situated in the mansion of Pinto da Cunha, in Campo Grande. The window on the second floor in the corner facing the camera was the bedroom of Francisco Gavazzo, where the HQ was based.
During the next two years, the Club developed intensely, and teams from other sports were formed as part of the club, such as Tennis and Athletics, but they mostly organised parties and festivals, which led to a split in the group, as one side said that the Club should only deal with sport.
