Why GD Chaves

GD Chaves work as a second team because they come with their own geography: Portugal, Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.

You get a nickname
Known as Flavienses Valentes Trasmontanos. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Worth the journey
Nearest airport is Vila Real Airport (VRL), roughly 57km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.
The calendar you inherit
Following Portugal LigaPro means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Portugal becomes part of your week.
Modern era club
Formed in 1949, so the whole story is documented, arguable and still being written. Join now and you were basically there from the start.
