Club League Cup 2012/13

From dream to reality goes the distance that a joint effort can overcome.

SC Braga, at the beginning of the season 2012/13, chose the purpose and objective of winning a trophy.

The assiduous presence in European competition, with the conquest of the last qualification for the Champions League, showed the Club's growth at European level. The conquest of a title or trophy would strengthen the status in Portugal.

In 2011/12 SC Braga, for the first time, reached the semi-finals of the League Cup. A year later the route was longer.
