Who are SC BRAGA?
HISTORY
Sporting Clube de Braga is a sports club officially founded on January 19, 1921. It is an eclectic club that, in addition to football, distinguishes itself in sports such as athletics, swimming, futsal, billiards, taekwondo, basketball, beach soccer and volleyball, with a remarkable national and international record.
It is one of the clubs with the most titles in Portuguese football, of which the achievements of the Portuguese Cup in the 1965/66, 2015/16 and 2020/2021 seasons, the Portuguese Football Federation Cup in 1976/77 and the League Cup in 1976/77 stand out. 2012/13 and in 2019/2020. A regular in the UEFA Europa League and with two appearances in the UEFA Champions League, he is one of the greatest ambassadors of Portuguese football internationally.
They have 6 club friendlies arranged this season.
They are:
12/07/2023 * SC BRAGA 4 v 0 SCU TORREENSE
15/07/2023 * SC BRAGA 2 v 0 BOAVISTA FC
19/07/2023 * SC BRAGA * v * CARDIFF CITY
22/07/2023 * SC BRAGA * v * BRISTOL ROVERS
26/07/2023 * SC BRAGA * v * AS ROMA
29/07/2023 * SC BRAGA * v * OGC NICE
It seems that BRAGA have organised three easy matches at the beginning, followed by their three toughest fixtures.
Have Bristol Rovers ever played an easier/ tougher opponent in an overseas pre-season friendly?

Didn't we play Porto last summer? They'd probably be considered tougher than Braga.

Anyone flying over? Feel like we’d have taken a decent amount had it not been so last minute!

Two faced water horses. |

Others have missed last game or so (or many more for Rossiter) |
