Leça Futebol Clube is a Portuguese sports club located in Leça da Palmeira, Matosinhos. The team plays in Estádio do Leça FC with the capacity of 18.000.

The club is most known for its football (soccer) team that now competes in the Portuguese Third Division .The team participated in the Portuguese Liga from 1995-96 to 1997-98, but a decision taken by the federation based in past acts of corruption decided to relegate Leça FC to Liga de Honra for 1998-99. The team was expected to fight for promotion, but the efforts were not enough to bring the team to the top level again.In the upcoming years the club was affected by some financial problems that cut some of the desire of wanting the team back to the top. Because of the team's lower budget new goals where set. The main goal was now to make the club financially secure, and then try to put the team back on the first division.However, after a series of events of bad management of the financial status by the presidents (it has been related that some of the presidents stole money from the club to use for their own benefit), unpaid wages to the team professionals, unqualified team coaches and other sporting factors, the team ended falling in the "abyss" of third division. Since then they've been dubbed as strong candidates to promotion, but never confirmed the expectations finishing in midtable and surprisingly sometimes near the bottom of the table.
