Portugal was founded in 1128, making it one of the oldest nations in Europe. Portugal is named after its 2nd largest city, Porto
The football federation of Portugal was founded in 1914. The official name of the federation was União Portuguesa de Futebol, and their main goal was to promote national tournaments. Unfortunately, the WWI outbreak stopped those plans in their tracks for seven years. As a result, Portugal played its first official game in 1921. The following year saw the founding of the Campeonato de Portugal, which set things off in the right direction
Their first taste of success arrived in 1996, when they managed to top their Euro group ahead of Croatia, Denmark, and Turkey. They went on to lose the quarter-finals against the Czech Republic, but the first impression was undoubtedly a positive one. At the Euro 2000, they went one step further by making it to the semi-finals. They were then eliminated by a golden goal from Zinedine Zidane, which was scored from a controversial penalty kick
By this point, all the members of the golden generation had retired from the national team. Due to the emergence of the young superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, however, this didn't have much of an impact on the team's success. Ronaldo was already a key part of the 2006 World Cup squad, and it didn't take too long for him to become Portugal's main man
