Sport Clube Salgueiros, commonly known as simply Salgueiros, was a Portuguese club from the city of Porto, in the northern region of the country. It was founded in 2008, to fill the void left by Sport Comércio e Salgueiros collapse, returning to its original name in 2016.
History After S.C. Salgueiros was prevented from competing due to severe financial issues, Sport Clube Salgueiros 08 was created in 2008. The emblem had to be different, but it kept the reference to Salgueiros, as well as red as the dominant color. The re-founded club's debut was in the 2nd District Division of the Porto F.A.
Salgueiros 08 had a trajectory primarily in Porto's district divisions, but in the 2011–12 season, it achieved promotion to the National 3rd Division. A year later, the club was promoted to the Campeonato Nacional de Seniores – the third tier of the Portuguese football pyramid at that time. It remained there for the following season fightiing for promotion in 2013–14, before turning Sport Clube Salgueiros for the 2015–16 season, with a crest similar to the original of S.C. Salgueiros.
That was the final season of the phoenix club. In 2016–17, it got back the name, flag, history and crest of Sport Comércio e Salgueiros. To do so, the purchase of the identity elements was negotiated with the bankruptcy administrator.
Without its own stadium after the demolition of Estádio Vidal Pinheiro, Salgueiros 08/S.C. Salgueiros played most frequently at the Estádio do Padroense FC, in Padrão da Légua.
