For your information, Lusitano entered the 1952–53 Primeira Divisão, finishing up 7th in their first season ever.

The club competed for 14 consecutive seasons in the Primeira Divisão, its major period of success in the 1950s and 1960s, earning an honorable 5th place in 1956/57, and reaching the semi-finals of the Taça de Portugal twice.
