History
The A.R.C.D. Mendiga was founded on March 30, 1980.
Almost from its foundation the club possessed a pavilion that was used to practice futsal, organize dances and events including a 1982 concert by Jafumega
In 1987 the club initiated an annual running event called Grande Prémio de Atletismo da Mendiga with participants from all over the country.
In 2001 it acquired a new sports field to practice sports, that was later covered in 2003, therefore the previous pavilion was changed to hold cultural events and for events such as New Year's Eve parties, regional taverns where you can taste the best food of Mendiga and regional dances.
The Sports Holidays (Férias Desportivas) are held annually for children from 6 to 15 years old.
