History
In the 2005–06 season, Trofense played in the Portuguese Second Division Serie A (third level), which was won by six points. The club then progressed to a playoff that decided promotion to the second division, with Serie B winners A.D. Lousada. Trofense won in a very emotional game, only decided on the 20th penalty, scored by goalkeeper Vítor.
In 2007–08 (having finished 11th in the league the previous season), Trofense achieved a first ever promotion to the first division, and conquered its second piece of silverware, winning by a small margin over Rio Ave FC (the first four teams were separated by just two points).
On 4 January 2009, Trofense managed an historical home win, beating S.L. Benfica 2–0, courtesy of Reguila and F.C. Porto loanee Hélder Barbosa, that then placed the side above the relegation zone. The following week, it achieved a 0–0 draw at the Estádio do Dragão, against Porto, but the club would be eventually relegated back.
