Hi, I’m Carlos! A coach, sports enthusiast, and the founder of FCScout.com.
I fell in love with the game at a very young age like many of you. I’ve been following and playing soccer for many years.
Throughout my career, I always enjoyed helping soccer players chase their dreams, which is why I started this website. I wanted to reach a larger audience outside of my local area and fcscout.com was born.
This website is a platform I will be using to update club pages on any tryouts, stadiums, players, tech, and more from clubs around the world. I also create free recruitment profiles for players looking to have that extra competitive edge when reaching out to clubs.
That’s it. That’s my pitch for you to stick around (or browse the site as you please).
This is already too much text for a “see more” drop-down button thing. If you want to reach out to me, head on over to my contact page 🙂

C.D. Nacional History
It was established on the 8th of December 1910, and it is presently competing in the LigaNos, which is Portugal’s top professional football division. The club’s home uniform consists of striped shirts in black and white, together with black shorts and black socks.
In addition to this, Nacional is well-known for its role in the development of the Portuguese national team star Cristiano Ronaldo, and in order to pay tribute to the club’s most renowned player, the youth training facilities at Nacional have been dubbed the Cristiano Ronaldo Campus Futebol. Cristiano Ronaldo went on to play for Sporting, Manchester United, and Real Madrid.
Their best performance in European competition was in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League after defeating Zenit St. Petersburg in the play-off round and managing to secure a third place finish in the group stage. The Alvinegros’ best top-tier league finish was fourth in the 2003–04 Primeira Liga season. Their best participation in European competition was in that competition.
In addition to its football team, Nacional fields teams in a variety of other sports, just like many other clubs in Portugal. Beach soccer, boxing, artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, tennis, triathlon, muay thai, padel, rallying, swimming, and veterans’ soccer are some of the other sports that have their own organizations inside the organization.
Stadium
It plays its home games at Estádio da Madeira, popularly known as Estádio da Choupana. Built in 1998 and honoring current club president Rui Alves by being given the name Estádio Eng. Rui Alves at the time of its naming, it has a capacity of roughly 5,132 people. The stadium can be found in the Choupana district of Funchal’s north side, which is quite a ways up in the surrounding mountains.
