CD Tondela Relegated to Liga Portugal 2 After One Season

CD Tondela have been relegated from the I Liga after just one season in the top flight. A defeat against FC Arouca confirmed the club’s drop to Liga Portugal 2. The Beira‑based club had earned promotion to the I Liga only a year earlier. Their ascent was short‑lived as the relegation now follows the previous season’s success. The decisive match ended in a loss to FC Arouca. That result sealed the worst‑case scenario for CD Tondela. As a consequence, CD Tondela will compete in Liga Portugal 2, referred to as “Meu Super”. The second‑tier competition will be their new platform for the upcoming season. The club’s emblem, representing the Beira region, will now be seen in the lower division. The relegation marks a rapid reversal of fortunes for the team. CD Tondela must now regroup to aim for a swift return to the I Liga. Their immediate focus will be on the challenges of Liga Portugal 2.
