During the 1945–46 season, the club also played in the Primeira Liga where after one season they were relegated. This is their only presence in the Primeira Liga.[13] Following the club's relegation they would go on to play in the AF Aveiro First Division which the club won in the 1951–52, 1956–57 and 1957–58 seasons.
