Liga Portugal 2
Önem: Genç yetenekler ile deneyimli profesyonellerin Primeira Liga’ya yükselecekleri ana istikamet burasıdır. Sezon, üst sıralardaki takımlar için otomatik yükselme ile sonlanır; alt sıralardaki takımlar Campeonato de Portugal’a düşer; bazı yıllarda play-off olanakları da vardır. Liga, eski Liga de Honra’dan evrilmiştir ve sık sık uzun yıllara dayanan bölgesel rekabetler ile tutkulu taraftarlar barındırır. Büyük kulüplerin altyapı takımları da bazı sezonlarda yer alır; bu durum farklı bir dinamik katar.
Neden takip edilir: taraftarlar taktiksel ve savunmacı mücadeleleri, disiplini ve yükselen oyuncu ile teknik direktörleri görme şansını severler; bu sayede elit lige adım atmadan önceki döneme tanıklık ederler. Marginaların dar olduğu, her puanın kritik olduğu ve sağlam bir savunmanın ölümcül bir kontra atağı başlatabildiği bir lig.
