===Stadium=== {{main|Estádio José Alvalade}} [[File:Estadio Alvalade XXI - panoramio (3).jpg|thumb|Estádio José Alvalade (inside view).]] Throughout its history, Sporting has had several grounds. The first one was inaugurated on 4 July 1907, and was called "''Sítio das Mouras''". It was a state-of-the-art facility at the time and included changing rooms with individual lockers and changing rooms with showers and baths. It included a grass playing field for football and two tennis courts. It was considered luxurious and had also an athletics track.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ALVALADE XXI |url=https://www.cmjornal.pt/domingo/detalhe/alvalade-xxi |access-date=2023-10-14 |website=CM Jornal |date=3 August 2003 |language=pt-PT |archive-date=15 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231015191233/https://www.cmjornal.pt/domingo/detalhe/alvalade-xxi |url-status=live }}</ref> This was followed by the [[Estádio do Campo Grande]] (1917–1937) and the [[Estádio do Lumiar]] (1937–1956).
