Buy Casa Pia tickets for the 2026/27 Season and you are following one of the oldest stories in Portuguese football. Casa Pia Atlético Clube, the Lisbon club founded in 1920 by former pupils of the historic Casa Pia institution, returned to the top flight in 2022 after an absence of 83 years and are now in their fifth straight Liga Portugal season. While their Pina Manique ground in Lisbon is rebuilt, home league games are played at the Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior, about 80 km north of the capital.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
1BoxOffice lists seats for Casa Pia's matches as sellers add them, including their away trips to Benfica, Sporting and FC Porto. You can compare price points, stands and delivery methods side by side before you commit. The guide below explains where Casa Pia play, how the club sells its seats, what you can expect to pay and how the Gansos, the Geese, found their way back to the Primeira Liga.
Casa Pia sell their own seats through the club's online ticket office, and members known as sócios have been given priority for some of the biggest games. For most league fixtures at Rio Maior there is plenty of choice, since the stadium is rarely full and prices are modest.
The picture changes for the big occasions. When Benfica, Sporting or FC Porto visit Rio Maior, demand rises sharply, and for the high-pressure 2026 relegation play-off the home stands were restricted to members. Away games at the Luz, Alvalade and the Dragão are sold by the host clubs, often to their own members first, which makes them hard to reach for a Casa Pia supporter without the right access.
A marketplace gives travelling supporters another route. Listings can appear as soon as a fixture is announced, sellers state the stand and delivery method before you pay and you can compare options without waiting for a club release. Read the listing notes carefully, especially the venue, since Casa Pia's home ground is not in Lisbon itself.
1BoxOffice has run as a ticket marketplace since 2006, serving supporters across the UK, Europe and the Middle East. Each purchase runs through a secure checkout and sellers are vetted before their listings go live, so you know who you are dealing with before you plan a trip to Portugal.
The protection that matters most is the 150% guarantee. If tickets are not delivered and no comparable alternative is offered, you are eligible for a full refund, and a credit voucher worth 50% of the original order value (excluding fees and taxes, capped at £125) may also be issued.
The most important thing for any buyer to know is where Casa Pia play. The club's historic home, the Estádio Pina Manique in Lisbon's Monsanto park, is not licensed for top-flight football, and a planned rebuild has been delayed. Since 2023/24 Casa Pia have played their home Liga Portugal games at the Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior, a ground of around 7,000 in the Santarém district.
Rio Maior is about 80 km from Pina Manique, roughly an hour's drive from central Lisbon, and Rede Expressos coaches run from Lisbon's Sete Rios terminal in around 70 minutes. That makes a Casa Pia home game a day trip rather than a short metro ride for supporters based in the capital.
The move followed a first top-flight season at the Estádio Nacional in Jamor, the national stadium on the western edge of Lisbon, in 2022/23. The club plans to return to a rebuilt Pina Manique: Lisbon city council approved the project in 2024, and the plans set out a stadium of between 5,000 and 8,000 seats at a cost of around €15 million.
Until that happens, Rio Maior is home. Always check the venue shown on each listing, and allow time for the journey from Lisbon if you plan to combine a game with a city break.
The 2026/27 Liga Portugal has 18 clubs, who play each other home and away from early August 2026 to mid-May 2027. Casa Pia's opponents are Académico de Viseu, Alverca, Arouca, Benfica, Braga, Estoril, Estrela da Amadora, Famalicão, Gil Vicente, Marítimo, Moreirense, Nacional, FC Porto, Rio Ave, Santa Clara, Sporting CP and Vitória SC. Académico de Viseu and Marítimo came up from Liga Portugal 2, replacing AVS and Tondela.
The bottom of the table matters as much as the top for a club like Casa Pia. The 16th-placed side goes into a two-legged play-off against the third-placed team from Liga Portugal 2, while the clubs below that are relegated. Casa Pia know the play-off well, having survived it against Torreense in 2026.
Fixtures are released in blocks, and exact days and kick-off times are confirmed a few weeks ahead to suit television. Games against the Big Three can be moved around their European commitments, so a weekend date can shift between Friday and Monday.
The Taça de Portugal runs alongside the league, with Liga Portugal clubs joining after the opening rounds. A home draw against one of the big clubs can be one of the busiest days of the season at Rio Maior, and cup ties are sold separately from league games.
Casa Pia's home crowds are modest for routine games. Across the 2025/26 season the average league attendance was around 2,000, and the club's occupancy rate of just under 30% was the second-lowest in the division. The visits of the Big Three are a different matter, drawing large travelling followings to Rio Maior.
That gap between ordinary fixtures and the big ones is the key to buying well. A Sunday afternoon game against a mid-table side and a visit from Benfica are completely different markets. These are the factors that decide how quickly a fixture fills:
For a standard league fixture there is usually time to compare options. For the visits of the Big Three and the neighbours' derbies, buying early gives you the widest choice of seats.
Casa Pia's home games are affordable by top-flight standards. The club does not publish a full price list in advance, but the benchmarks available are low: FC Porto's away allocation at Rio Maior in April 2025 was priced at €14, about £12, and sold online only.
On the secondary market, prices are set by sellers and follow demand. A routine league game at Rio Maior may sit close to the club's own range, while the visits of Benfica, Sporting and Porto can command a premium. Casa Pia's away games at the Luz, Alvalade and the Dragão are priced by the host clubs and cost considerably more, particularly in the central stands.
The ranges below combine published prices with typical market levels. Treat them as a guide to the scale of each type of fixture rather than a quote for any single match.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Liga Portugal home games (standard fixtures) | £10 – £35 |
| Liga Portugal home games (Benfica, Sporting, FC Porto) | £12 – £70+ |
| Away at Benfica, Sporting or FC Porto | £35 – £200+ |
| Taça de Portugal | Varies by round |
| Premium seats | Varies by fixture |
Prices reflect typical ranges and may change as demand and availability shift. Every listing shows its full price before checkout, so you can compare areas like for like.
For most league games, yes. Casa Pia sell tickets through the club's online ticket office, and routine fixtures at Rio Maior are open to the general public. The club's membership is inexpensive, at €60 a year or €5 a month for adults, with reduced rates for students aged 18 to 24 and for younger supporters, at €2.50 a month or €30 a year.
The biggest games can be different. For the 2026 relegation play-off against Torreense, the home stands at Rio Maior were restricted to members, and away allocations at the Big Three's grounds are sold by those clubs under their own rules, which often favour their members first.
A marketplace gives supporters another option, with listings visible as soon as sellers post them and no membership needed to browse or buy. Always check the listing notes for the delivery method, the venue and any name or ID requirements before you complete your order.
Membership is the main way regular supporters commit to Casa Pia. A sócio card gives access to member sales for high-demand games, and at €60 a year it is an inexpensive commitment for regular supporters. Season ticket prices for 2026/27 were not widely published ahead of the season.
For visitors, the cost of a single trip is mostly the match ticket and the journey to Rio Maior. The table below sets out the published figures a supporter should know.
| Item | What It Covers | Price | Approx. in GBP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adult membership (annual) | Sócio card with access to member sales | €60 | About £51 |
| Adult membership (monthly) | The same membership paid monthly | €5 a month | About £4 |
| Student membership (18 to 24) | Reduced annual rate | €30 | About £25 |
| Away allocation benchmark | FC Porto's away tickets at Rio Maior, April 2025 | €14 | About £12 |
| Season tickets | Home league games at Rio Maior | Check with the club before each season | Varies |
The Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior is a compact ground of around 7,000, so most seats are close to the pitch. Portuguese grounds are usually split into central stands along the touchlines, end sections behind the goals and a segregated away area, with prices following that layout.
Because the ground is small, even the lower-priced seats give a close view of the action. On a quiet league afternoon there is often room to choose, while for the big games the home sections can sell out well before kick-off.
The choice comes down to view, atmosphere and whether you want to be among the home support. For the visits of the Big Three, check that your seat is in a home section unless you are travelling with the away fans, since segregation rules apply.
| Area | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central stand | Overall view | Upper | The best sightlines along the halfway line |
| Side sections | View and value | Mid | Good angles at a lower price than the centre |
| Home supporters' area | Atmosphere | Lower | Where the Gansos' most vocal fans gather |
| Family-friendly seats | Families | Lower to mid | Seated areas away from the most vocal sections |
| Away section | Visiting supporters | Set by fixture | A segregated area of around 5% of capacity under league rules |
Casa Pia's away calendar includes some of the biggest days in Portuguese football. Trips to the Estádio da Luz and Estádio José Alvalade are short journeys across Lisbon, while games in the north, Madeira and the Azores mean trains or flights. Away allocations under Liga Portugal rules are around 5% of the host stadium's capacity.
| Trip | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Benfica (Estádio da Luz) | A short metro trip across Lisbon to Portugal's biggest stadium |
| Sporting CP (Estádio José Alvalade) | Another Lisbon trip, with metro stops close to the ground |
| FC Porto (Estádio do Dragão) | About three hours north by train, with a metro stop at the stadium |
| Estoril and Estrela da Amadora | Short trips within the Lisbon area for the neighbours' derbies |
| Madeira and the Azores | Flights to Nacional, Marítimo and Santa Clara |
The island trips are the longest of the season. Nacional and Marítimo play in Funchal on Madeira, and Santa Clara in Ponta Delgada in the Azores, so those away days involve flights from Lisbon and usually an overnight stay.
The Lisbon away days are the ones most visitors will want. A trip to the Luz or Alvalade combines a top-flight game in a big stadium with an easy journey, and both grounds are well served by the metro.
If you travel as a neutral and sit in a home section, wear plain clothing and follow the host club's guidance. Away tickets at the Big Three's grounds are usually sold by the host club, often with members first, so read the listing notes for the stand and any name or ID details.
The right seat depends on the kind of day you are after. A relaxed weekend game at Rio Maior and an evening against Benfica call for different choices. Because the ground is compact, the decision is more about atmosphere and price than distance from the pitch.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best atmosphere | Home supporters' area | Where the Gansos' most vocal fans gather |
| Best view | Central stand | Central sightlines along the halfway line |
| Family-friendly | Side sections | A calmer crowd and a good view at a mid-range price |
| Premium experience | Best central seats | The top positions in a compact ground |
| Lower-priced option | End sections for routine games | Typically the most affordable home seats |
Most visitors will base themselves in Lisbon, which makes Casa Pia an easy club to follow for a weekend. The city's metro reaches both of the big Lisbon grounds, and Rio Maior is a straightforward drive or coach ride north for home games.
The Lisbon away days are the simplest to plan. The Estádio da Luz sits on the blue metro line in the north-west of the city, and the Estádio José Alvalade is next to Campo Grande station on the yellow and green lines, so both can be reached from the centre in well under half an hour.
A trip to FC Porto takes longer but is still manageable in a day. Alfa Pendular trains link Lisbon with Porto Campanhã in around three hours, and the Dragão has its own metro stop, so supporters can travel up in the morning and return the same night for most kick-offs.
For a home game, the best plan is to treat Rio Maior as a day trip. Leave Lisbon with time to spare, check the return coach times if you are not driving and allow for the extra traffic that builds when one of the Big Three is in town.
Casa Pia's recent history has been spread across three stadiums. The club's spiritual home is the Estádio Pina Manique, which opened on 29 August 1954 in Lisbon's Monsanto forest park, in the Benfica area of the city, and is named after Diogo Inácio de Pina Manique, who organised the original Casa Pia institution in the 18th century. The ground remains the club's headquarters, but it is not licensed for Liga Portugal football.
When Casa Pia returned to the top flight in 2022, they played their first season at the Estádio Nacional in Jamor, the national stadium with a capacity of more than 37,000. It was a grand setting for a club used to much smaller crowds, in the stadium that traditionally hosts the Taça de Portugal final, and the next season they moved to the Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior. The Estádio Nacional opened in 1944 and is the traditional home of the Taça de Portugal final, so that first season back was spent at one of the most storied venues in the country.
Rio Maior has been home since 2023/24. Published capacity figures range from about 7,000 to 8,500 depending on the source, and the ground's compact size means the crowd is close to the pitch. It has hosted some of the club's best recent results, including the 3-1 win over Benfica in January 2025.
The long-term plan is a rebuilt Pina Manique. Lisbon city council approved the project in 2024, with plans for a stadium of between 5,000 and 8,000 seats at a cost of around €15 million, but contaminated soil at the site delayed the work, and the hoped-for return in 2026/27 did not happen.
For ticket buyers, the message is simple. Check the venue on every listing, since a future move back to Lisbon would change the journey completely.
Rio Maior is a small town in the Santarém district, around 80 km north of Lisbon. It is best known in Portugal for its inland salt pans, the Salinas de Rio Maior, which have been worked for centuries and make an interesting stop before or after a game, particularly on a weekend afternoon.
Driving is the simplest way to get there, with the journey from central Lisbon taking around an hour in normal traffic. Rede Expressos coaches run from Lisbon's Sete Rios terminal in around 70 minutes, which suits supporters without a car, though it is worth checking return times for evening kick-offs.
Most visitors will base themselves in Lisbon and travel up for the match. If you are flying in, Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport is the natural arrival point, and hiring a car gives the most flexibility for the trip north.
On matchday the atmosphere is relaxed for most games and much busier for the visits of the Big Three, when large numbers of supporters make the same journey. Allow extra time on those days, both for the drive and for parking near the ground.
Premium seating at Rio Maior is limited compared with Lisbon's big stadiums. The best central seats offer the most comfortable view, and availability for the visits of the Big Three can be tight. For a full hospitality experience, Casa Pia's away games at the Luz, Alvalade or the Dragão offer far more choice, sold by the host clubs.
On the secondary market, premium listings are less common than standard seats, so check each listing carefully for what is included. Seat location and any extras vary by fixture.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Central stand seats | The best sightlines at Rio Maior | Varies by fixture |
| Premium seats | Higher-category seats where available | Varies by fixture |
| Big Three fixture seats | Home-section seats for the visits of Benfica, Sporting and FC Porto | Varies by fixture |
| Away-game premium seats | Hospitality at the Luz, Alvalade or the Dragão, sold by the host club | Varies by package |
| Group bookings | Adjacent seats for groups in home sections | Varies by fixture |

Pay securely
Complete payment through the encrypted checkout. Purchases are protected by the 150% guarantee, applied under the 1BoxOffice terms.
Step8
Track delivery
Follow your order status at any time through track order and watch for delivery updates by email.
Most orders are confirmed by email straight after payment. If anything changes, such as a rescheduled kick-off or a change of venue, you will be told through the same channel. Keep the confirmation handy until your tickets arrive, since it holds your order reference for any query with the support team.
Some games fill far faster than others. If one of these is on your list, start looking as soon as the date is confirmed. With a capacity of around 7,000, Rio Maior can fill quickly when one of the big clubs is in town.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Casa Pia vs Benfica | A huge travelling following and recent history, including the 3-1 win in January 2025 |
| Casa Pia vs Sporting CP | Sporting supporters make the short trip north in large numbers |
| Casa Pia vs FC Porto | A strong following from the north and the memory of the 2-1 win in February 2026 |
| Lisbon neighbours' derbies | Local pride against Estrela da Amadora and Estoril |
| Relegation play-off or survival games | High-stakes games where home sales can be limited to members |
For routine league games there is usually less pressure, and listings can appear right up to matchday. The exceptions are the Big Three visits, when the away support alone can fill a large share of a ground this size.
Each listing states its delivery method before you pay. Portuguese clubs increasingly use digital tickets, and away games at the Big Three's grounds follow those clubs' own systems.
Delivery timing varies by fixture, and tickets for high-demand games are often released close to kick-off. Check the listing notes and your email in the final days.
If a listing offers more than one delivery method, choose the one that suits your travel plans. Supporters flying in from abroad usually find mobile tickets or e-tickets simplest, since nothing needs to be posted, while collection suits those staying in Lisbon before the trip north.
Entry at Rio Maior is quick for most games, but security and queues increase for the visits of the Big Three. Use the entrance shown on your ticket and allow time for the journey from Lisbon, especially if you are relying on a coach.
Arriving 45 to 60 minutes before kick-off avoids the longest queues. For the biggest games, allow extra time for parking and for the walk to the ground, since many supporters arrive by car from Lisbon at the same time.
Carry a passport or national ID card, since tickets for high-demand games can be linked to the buyer's name. Digital tickets must be shown from a working phone. If you are using a ticket from a club's member sale, check any name requirements in the listing notes.
Travel light. Large bags slow down security checks, and items such as flares, glass and anything that could be thrown are typically banned at Portuguese grounds. Check the matchday guidance before the biggest fixtures.

Casa Pia's story is one of the most unusual in European football. A club founded by former pupils of a centuries-old Lisbon institution, it played one top-flight season in the 1930s and then spent more than eight decades below the elite before returning in 2022.
Casa Pia, the institution, was founded in 1780 under Queen Maria I and organised by Diogo Inácio de Pina Manique to educate and care for children in Lisbon. In 1920 a group of its former pupils, including Cândido de Oliveira and Ricardo Ornelas, founded the football club, which quickly won the Lisbon championship and beat Benfica to claim its first trophy.
Cândido de Oliveira became one of the most important figures in Portuguese football. He captained Portugal in their first international, against Spain in December 1921, later coached the national team in 1926 to 1929, 1935 to 1945 and 1952, and co-founded the newspaper A Bola in 1945. The Portuguese Super Cup is named in his honour. On the pitch, Casa Pia's one top-flight season in 1938/39 ended with a single win and last place.
For most of the 20th century Casa Pia were a respected Lisbon club in the lower divisions rather than a national force. The opening of Pina Manique in 1954 gave them a permanent home, and the club's links to the institution kept its identity strong even in the years away from the spotlight.
The climb back began in the 2000s, from as low as the fourth and fifth tiers of Portuguese football. Lower-division titles in 2003/04, 2007/08 and 2009/10 moved the club up the pyramid, and Victor Seabra Franco, president since 2006, oversaw the long rebuild that would eventually lead to the top flight.
The decisive steps came quickly. Casa Pia won the Campeonato de Portugal, then the third tier, in 2018/19, beating Vilafranquense on penalties after a 2-2 draw in the final at the Estádio Nacional.
In 2021/22 Filipe Martins's side finished second in Liga Portugal 2 with 68 points and the best defence in the division, captained by Vasco Fernandes. Promotion ended an 83-year wait for top-flight football and made Casa Pia one of the great comeback stories of the Portuguese game.
Casa Pia's first season back was a success. Martins's side finished tenth at the Estádio Nacional and reached the Taça de Portugal quarter-finals, and after the move to Rio Maior the club finished ninth in both 2023/24 and 2024/25, beating Benfica 3-1 in January 2025.
The 2025/26 season was harder. Casa Pia finished 16th, though they beat FC Porto 2-1 in February 2026, and survived through a relegation play-off against Torreense, drawing 0-0 away before winning 2-0 at Rio Maior. Filipe Coelho, formerly in charge of Chelsea's under-21 side and previously an assistant at Strasbourg and a coach in Benfica's youth system, was appointed head coach in July 2026. The same month, the Krause Group agreed to enter the club's share capital, with chief executive Tiago Lopes staying in his role.
Casa Pia Atlético Clube is unlike almost any other club in Portuguese football because of where it comes from. The Casa Pia institution was founded in Lisbon in 1780 under Queen Maria I and organised by the intendant Diogo Inácio de Pina Manique to care for and educate children, and the football club remains its sports club today.
That heritage runs through the club's identity. The crest carries a red and white Cross of Christ on a black background, black is the club's main colour, and the historic ground bears the name of Pina Manique himself. The nickname Gansos, the Geese, is used by supporters and in the Portuguese press.
The founders of 1920 were former pupils of the institution, and the club's early success in the Lisbon championship reflected the sporting tradition of the institution. More than a century later, that link remains a point of pride for supporters and a large part of what makes Casa Pia's return to the top flight such a distinctive story.
Casa Pia's story is carried by a small number of people, from the founders of 1920 to the players and coaches of the modern revival. These are the names supporters return to first.
Club records for career appearances and all-time goals are not widely published, so the list below focuses on verified milestones from the club's history. It spans more than a century, from the founders to the scorers of recent seasons.
| Name | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cândido de Oliveira | Founder and player | One of the club's founders and a towering figure in Portuguese football. He captained the national team, coached it across three spells and co-founded A Bola. | Portugal's captain in their first international, 1921; the Super Cup bears his name |
| Ricardo Ornelas | Founder | One of the former Casa Pia pupils who set up the club in 1920. The founders' generation won the Lisbon title in the club's first season. | Co-founder, 1920 |
| Victor Seabra Franco | President | Has led the club since 2006, through the climb from the lower divisions to the Primeira Liga. He was re-elected in 2025. | President since 2006; term to 2028 |
| Filipe Martins | Head coach | Built the side that won promotion in 2022 and kept it in the top flight in its first season back. His team had the best defence in Liga Portugal 2. | Promotion 2021/22; tenth in 2022/23 |
| Vasco Fernandes | Captain | Led the 2021/22 promotion side from the back. He lifted the club to the top flight for the first time in 83 years. | Captain of the 2022 promotion team |
| Cassiano | Striker | The club's leading forward of recent seasons, scoring in the 3-1 win over Benfica. He has been a reliable source of goals at Rio Maior. | 17 goals and 4 assists in 65 games across 2024/25 and 2025/26 |
| Larrazabal | Goalscorer | Scored in the 2-1 win over FC Porto and in the play-off second leg against Torreense. His goals were central to the 2025/26 survival. | Scorer v FC Porto and in the 2026 play-off |
| Nuno Moreira | Attacker | One of the scorers in the January 2025 win over Benfica. The result is among the club's most celebrated modern victories. | Scored in the 3-1 win over Benfica, 2025 |
Casa Pia have not won a major national trophy, and their honours record reflects a club that spent most of its history below the top flight. The highlights are the early Lisbon championship and the third-tier and second-tier achievements that brought the club back.
For supporters, the return to the Primeira Liga is the achievement that matters most, and the club has stayed there every season since. The two ninth-placed finishes are the best in the club's top-flight history.
| Competition | Record |
|---|---|
| Campeonato de Lisboa | Champions 1920/21 |
| Liga Portugal 2 | Runners-up 2021/22 (68 points), promoted |
| Campeonato de Portugal (third tier) | Champions 2018/19 |
| Primeira Liga | Best finish 9th, 2023/24 and 2024/25 |
| Taça de Portugal | Quarter-finals, 2022/23 |
Casa Pia do not have one defining rivalry. Their biggest games fall into two groups: the meetings with Lisbon's neighbouring clubs and the visits of the Big Three, which bring the largest crowds and the most memorable results.
Portuguese media describe the meeting with Estrela da Amadora as a Lisbon derby between neighbours. Both clubs are from the Lisbon area, which gives the fixture a local edge.
Estoril, from the coast west of Lisbon, are another neighbour, and A Bola has framed the fixture as a meeting of neighbours. The short trip makes it one of the easier away days.
Benfica are woven into Casa Pia's history. The club's very first trophy, the 1920/21 Lisbon championship, came with a 2-1 win over Benfica, and more than a century later Casa Pia beat them 3-1 at Rio Maior in January 2025.
For ticket buyers, this is the biggest home game of the season. Benfica's supporters travel in huge numbers, so seats in home sections can be hard to find as the date approaches.
Casa Pia's 2-1 win over FC Porto in February 2026 ended Porto's unbeaten run that season, with Larrazabal on the scoresheet. It was one of the standout results of the club's top-flight era.
Sporting's visits bring a large following from Lisbon, and the away trip to Alvalade is one of the most attractive days on Casa Pia's calendar. Both fixtures can draw well above the club's usual crowds.
The last five seasons cover the whole of Casa Pia's modern top-flight story. The club won promotion, settled comfortably in mid-table and then survived a difficult 2025/26 campaign through the play-offs.
Several coaching changes have marked that period, but the club has stayed in the top flight every season since 2022. Filipe Coelho, appointed in July 2026 on a contract to 2028, is the latest to take charge.
| Season | Summary |
|---|---|
| 2021/22 | Filipe Martins's side finished second in Liga Portugal 2 with 68 points and the best defence in the division. They reached the Taça de Portugal last 16, losing to Sporting. Promotion ended an 83-year wait for the top flight. |
| 2022/23 | Casa Pia finished tenth with 41 points in their first top-flight season since 1938/39, playing at the Estádio Nacional. They reached the Taça de Portugal quarter-finals. It was a strong return to the elite. |
| 2023/24 | After moving to Rio Maior, Casa Pia finished ninth with 38 points. Martins resigned in November, and two coaches followed him that season. The club reached the fourth round of the Taça de Portugal. |
| 2024/25 | João Pereira's side finished ninth again, with 45 points. The highlight was a 3-1 home win over Benfica in January 2025. They went out of the Taça de Portugal in the last 16 against Rio Ave. |
| 2025/26 | A difficult season ended in 16th place with 30 points, and Casa Pia stayed up by beating Torreense in the relegation play-off. They beat FC Porto 2-1 in February. Álvaro Pacheco took charge in January after Pereira's departure. |
Casa Pia's record book is defined by long gaps and recent milestones. These are the benchmarks that matter to the Gansos.
Most of the club's headline achievements have come since 2018, while the 83-year gap between top-flight seasons remains the most striking number in its history. The recent wins over Benfica and Porto show how far the club has come in a short time.
| Record | Holder | Figure |
|---|---|---|
| Founded | 3 July 1920 | Lisbon |
| First trophy | Campeonato de Lisboa, 1920/21 | 2-1 v Benfica |
| First top-flight season | 1938/39 | 8th of 8, 2 points |
| Gap between top-flight seasons | 1939 to 2022 | 83 years |
| Best top-flight finish | 2023/24 and 2024/25 | 9th |

Casa Pia play their home Liga Portugal games at the Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior, about 80 km north of Lisbon, while their historic Pina Manique ground is rebuilt. Always check the venue on the listing before you travel.
The drive takes around an hour, and Rede Expressos coaches run from Lisbon's Sete Rios terminal in about 70 minutes. Check return times before an evening kick-off.
Adult membership costs €60 a year or €5 a month, with reduced rates for students aged 18 to 24. Members get access to member sales for high-demand games.
The club was founded on 3 July 1920 by former pupils of the Casa Pia institution, including Cândido de Oliveira and Ricardo Ornelas. Cândido later captained and coached Portugal, and the Portuguese Super Cup is named after him.
Casa Pia beat Benfica 3-1 at Rio Maior in January 2025 and beat FC Porto 2-1 in February 2026. Their best league finish since returning to the top flight is ninth, achieved in 2023/24 and 2024/25.
