History
The women's football section of the Sociedade União 1º de Dezembro was created in 1995, making the club one of the few in Portugal to have both a men's and a women's football team. Ever since the creation of the section, the team have won 12 league titles - 11 of which in a row - and 7 Portuguese Cups making it the most successful women's football team in Portugal.
The section also managed an U-18 women's football team which disputed the Campeonato de Promoção de Futebol Feminino, the name of the women's football second division.
After a 3rd place in the 2012-13 league, the women's football section was incorporated into Sevenfoot, a non-profit association managing the youth football teams of the club. This restructuring involved several players of the main team leaving the club, changing the manager and making the U-18 team into a 7-a-side team to challenge for the new Lisbon U-18 Regional League.
