Canelas 2010

Canelas 2010 is a Portuguese professional football club based in Canelas, Vila Nova de Gaia, in the Porto Metropolitan Area. The club competes in the Liga 3, the third-division league of the Portuguese Football Federation.

History

The club was founded on 6 February 1966 as the Canelas Gaia Futebol Clube, named after Canelas, a town in Vila Nova de Gaia, where the team's stadium is located. Canelas Gaia Futebol Clube became dormant in the 2005–06 season, due to financial problems. The club was refounded on 28 April 2010 as CF Canelas 2010, following a restructuring of the club's finances and management.

In 2017, Canelas 2010 was again accused of violence, this time after a video emerged of their players attacking an opponent. The club was fined €10,000 and banned from playing home games for one year.
