SC Braga is a storied Portuguese football team, having been founded back in 1921. Their hallowed grounds are the distinct Estádio Municipal de Braga, situated in the courageously named city of Braga. One hesitates to say, but the team does bear a certain gravitas, a seriousness that might lend itself to the solemn stone surroundings of their home stadium.
The team currently has on its books a grand total of 35 players, these lads with maneuvers and tricks up their sleeves average around the crisp age of 24. One could argue the youthful tenacity of the squad strongly contrasts against their mature and historic establishment.
SC Braga has not been kicking up dust on the sidelines this season, far from it. They've rolled their sleeves up and engaged in not one, not two, but three distinct competitions. They're currently sitting pretty at 5th position in Liga Portugal, proving their mettle amongst their national peers. They boldly faced the challange in the Europa League Qualifiers, making it this far through sweat and skill to the unabating Play-Offs. But of course, what's a lowly Play-Off when they've gallantly made their way into the last 16 of the Europa League itself. Now that's nothing to scoff at, if you ask me.
