History
The club was founded on 5 May 2023 after UD Vilafranquense's SAD relocated from Vila Franca de Xira to Vila das Aves[1], retaining their spot in the 2023–24 Liga Portugal 2. UD Vilafranquense subsequently registered a new team in the AF Lisboa district championships. The club has no relation to the defunct Clube Desportivo das Aves or its phoenix club Clube Desportivo das Aves 1930, apart from the sharing of its infrastructures.[2]
In 2024, they made their debut in the top tier of Portuguese football, after defeating Portimonense in the Liga Portugal 2 promotion play-offs.
