Sporting Clube de Portugal, more commonly referred to as Sporting CP, is a football team with a rich history dating back to its foundation in 1906. Nestled within the confines of the Estádio José Alvalade, they grace the turf and entertain legions of football enthusiasts from around Portugal and beyond.
In terms of asset valuation, the team's playing squad is far from insignificant and is conservatively estimated at around £384m according to Transfermarkt. With such figures in play, one could easily surmise that this team houses an eclectic mix of gifted individuals.
Many a club would envy Sporting CP's current squad, composed as it is of 32 players. Their average age is a robust 23, indicative of a team in full blossom, with plenty of footballing years left in their collective tank.
Indeed, Sporting CP are no stranger to competition, as is demonstrated by their current season's participation in three tournaments thus far. They currently command a respectable second place in the Liga Portugal, their prowess evident. They were also contenders in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira final, not to mention their active participation in the prominent arena that is the Champions League, where they are tussling it out in the League Phase.
