Grupo Desportivo União Ericeirense is a Portuguese association football club, founded in Ericeira, a small parish within Mafra, on 1 December 1921. The club plays in the second division of the Lisbon Football Association league, holding their home matches at the Campo Henrique Tomás Frade.

History

[edit]

Founded on 1 December 1921[1] as Grémio União Ericeirense, the club changed name to Sociedade União Ericeirense in 1939.[2] The current name was established in 1941, after the merger of SU Ericeirense and Grupo Desportivo Ericeirense.[2]

Ericeirense reached the top tier of the Lisbon Football Association in the 1960–61 season, also playing in the Terceira Divisão during that season.[2] It was the only season that the club featured in a national league, aside from two participations in the Taça de Portugal (2004–05 and 2020–21).

In the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons, Ericeirense had Portuguese international footballer Matheus Nunes in their squad.[3]
