Founded in 2004, the team spent the first eight years competing at youth level (up to under-23) until it was registered as a UCI Continental team in 2013, under the commercial designation of OFM–Quinta da Lixa–Goldentimes. That year, the team competed for the first time in the Volta a Portugal, where it won three stages and, through Alejandro Marque, the general classification.[3] The team won the general classification in the following four editions – through Gustavo César (2), Rui Vinhas and João Rodrigues – and added victories in the team classification.[4][5]
In 2022, the team's sports license was revoked by UCI for doping, with seven cyclists being suspended from three to seven years. The team's assistant sports director, José Rodrigues, received a 25-year suspension by ADoP.[6]
In March 2021, W52–FC Porto's rider Raúl Alarcón had 19 victories stripped for doping, including two wins at Volta a Portugal.[7] In April 2022, twelve cyclists of W52–FC Porto were made arguidos (formal suspects) in relation to a doping scandal.[8][9] Later in July, eight cyclists and two mechanics were suspended for 120 days by ADoP,[10] with the UCI revoking the team's sports license days later, thus excluding W52–FC Porto from the 2022 Volta a Portugal.[11]
