Gil Vicente is a Portuguese football club based in Barcelos, Portugal. Founded in 1924, the club has a rich history in Portuguese football. They have primarily competed in the top two tiers of Portuguese football, with occasional spells in the lower divisions. Gil Vicente's major accomplishments include winning the Segunda Divisão (second division) three times, in 1990, 1997, and 2000, which allowed them to gain promotion to the Primeira Liga. They have also had success in the Taça de Portugal, reaching the final in 1999 and 2001. The club's home venue is the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, which has a capacity of around 12,504 spectators. Gil Vicente is commonly known as "Os Galos" (The Roosters), a nickname that reflects the club's emblem featuring a rooster. This emblem is a tribute to the region's strong agricultural heritage, as Barcelos is known for its poultry farming. An interesting fact about Gil Vicente is that they have a strong local fan base and are considered one of the most traditional clubs in the Minho region of Portugal.
