Viseu Football Association

The Associação de Futebol de Viseu (Viseu Football Association, abrv. AF Viseu) is the district governing body for all the football competitions in the Portuguese district of Viseu. It is also the regulator of the clubs registered in the district.

Initially called the Federação Desportiva de Viseu, it was officially founded on October 15, 1926.

Several Viseu clubs compete in the national levels of the Portuguese football league system in competitions run by the Portuguese League for Professional Football (Segunda Liga) and Portuguese Football Federation (Campeonato Nacional de Seniores).

Below the Campeonato Nacional de Seniores (Portuguese fourth level) the competitions are organised at a district level (known in Portuguese as Distritais), with each District Association organising its competitions according to geographical and other factors. AF Viseu runs a league competition with two divisions, at the fourth and fifth levels of the Portuguese football league system, two cup competition known as Taça AF Viseu and Taça da Primeira Divisão, and a Supercup between the Taça AF Viseu and the Liga de Honra winners.

AF Viseu currently organises District Championships for football and futsal for or all age groups including Senior, Junior, Youth, Beginners, Infants and Schools.[citation needed]

Currently there are 5 Viseu FA clubs playing in the national leagues (first, second and third levels of the Portuguese football league system).

The Divisão de Honra is the first tier of the Viseu Football Association. Between 1927 and 1947, it was a Regional Championship called 1ª Divisão. At the end of each season, the top-finishing team is promoted to the Campeonato de Portugal, and the lowest-ranked teams are relegated to the AF Viseu second tier.
