	Portugal History
		It was a tournament that put Portuguese football on the map, but they were not to show the same level of performance again until 1984, when a team constructed around homegrown talents like Nené, Fernando Chalana and Rui Jordão reached the semi-finals in their first appearance at the UEFA European Championship.
		Salvation, however, was not too far around the corner, and the early 1990s saw a renaissance in Portuguese football with the discovery of a new generation of young players.
		In footballing terms, the national team is also increasingly expanding its ambitions, and as the nation plays host to the finals of UEFA EURO 2004™, Portugal is closer to the heart of the game than ever before.
