The club was founded on 8 November 1990 in Maputo under the name of Liga Desportiva Muçulmana de Maputo (Muslim Sporting League of Maputo). On 19 July 2014, the club was renamed to Liga Desportiva de Maputo, in order to separate itself from religion and politics; the naming controversy began in 2012 when FIBA refused to allow the club's women's basketball team from entering the African Champions League.[1][2]
