History
In the 2005–06 season, Trofense played in the Portuguese Second Division, winning its group by six points. The club then progressed to a playoff that decided promotion to the second level, with Serie B winners A.D. Lousada; Trofense won in an emotional game, only decided on the 20th penalty, scored by goalkeeper Vítor.
In 2007–08 (having finished 11th in the league the previous season), Trofense achieved a first ever promotion to the top division, and conquered its second piece of silverware, winning by a small margin over Rio Ave FC (the first four teams were separated by just two points).
On 4 January 2009, Trofense managed a historical home win, beating S.L. Benfica 2–0, courtesy of Reguila and FC Porto loanee Hélder Barbosa, that then placed the side above the relegation zone. The following week, it achieved a 0–0 draw at the Estádio do Dragão against Porto, but the club would be eventually relegated.
Trofenses hjemmebane er Estádio do CD Trofense, som har en kapasitet på 5000 tilskuere. Klubbens farger er grønt og hvitt, og klubbens emblem avbilder et sølvskjold med en grønn trekant i midten.
Trofense har aldri vunnet noen større trofeer, men har oppnådd en viss suksess i cupturneringer. Klubben har nådd finalen i Taça de Portugal ved to anledninger, i 1986 og 2013, men tapte begge gangene.
Noen av de mest kjente spillerne som har spilt for Trofense inkluderer Nani, Miguel Veloso og Ricardo Costa.
