The club was founded on 30 January 1941 by Dr. Ernesto Moreira, Francisco Salvador, José Miguel de Sousa and other few men from the Peniche municipality, after the junction of three small clubs.

They are filiated with AF Leiria, the districtal football association and C.F. Os Belenenses as number 14.
