As A BOLA reported this Tuesdaythe Portuguese Football Federation has prepared two opinions on the classification of national competitions based on an analysis of the history of national football championships by researchers from the Universities of Lisbon, Porto and Coimbra.
In 2018, the Independent Commission for the Analysis of National Titles (CIATN) was created as a result of a statement made by Sporting Portugal, which claimed four Portuguese league titles (1922/1923, 1933/1934). , 1935/1936 and 1937 /1938) The Portuguese Championship, which took place between 1921/1922 and 1937/1938, according to the Lions, the winner’s name should have been included in the national championship club list.
After analyzing the two opinions that will now be voted on at the special convention on June 29, A BOLA provides you with two hypothetical tables with the national champions:
Comment 1:
Portuguese league titles between the 1921/1922 and 1933/1934 seasons must be considered as national titles, as well as league titles prior to the national championship (between 1934/1935 and 1937/1938). The winner of the Portuguese Championships between 1934/1935 and 1937/1938 must be considered the winner of the Portuguese Cup.

opinion 2
The Portuguese Championship is the predecessor of the Portuguese Cup and the predecessor of the leagues (I and II leagues) of the national championships (I and II divisions). Therefore, the winner of the league title (between 1934/1935 and 1937/1938) should be considered the national champion, while the club that won the Portuguese Championship from 1921/1922 to the present should be considered the winner of the Portuguese Cup.
