DescriptionAvailable in:
Rio Ave Futebol Clube, commonly known as Rio Ave, is a Portuguese football club based in Vila do Conde, northern Portugal. The club is named after the Ave River, which flows through the town and into the Atlantic Ocean.
Founded in 1939, it currently plays in the Primeira Liga, Portugal's top-tier division of professional football. It plays its home games at Estádio do Rio Ave FC, also known as Estádio dos Arcos. Built in 1985, "Estádio do Rio Ave FC" seats approximately 12,815 people and is a multi-sports venue, although it is used mainly for Rio Ave's football matches.
The club's home colours are green and white striped shirts with white shorts and socks, whilst their away kit consists of a red and white striped shirt and white shorts with yellow socks. Portuguese internationals Alfredo, Paulinho Santos, Quim, Rui Jorge and Fábio Coentrão started their careers at the club.
The Vilacondenses best top-tier league finish was fifth in the 1981-1982 season. They reached the 1984 Taça de Portugal Final, where they lost to Porto 4-1, and the 2014 Taça de Portugal Final where they lost to S.L. Benfica 1–0. With this result, Rio Ave have a guaranteed spot in the 2014-2015 UEFA Europa League, which will mark the first time that Rio Ave have ever participated in a major European competition.
