União Desportiva Vilafranquense is a Portuguese football club from Vila Franca de Xira, Lisbon District.
The team currently compete in the 3rd division of Lisbon Football Association, equivalent to the 7th Portuguese division. The team competed in Liga Portugal 2, the second tier of the Portuguese football league system, until 2023–24 but after suffered a split between U.D. Vilafranquense (club) and Vilafranquense SAD, the SAD relocated to Vila das Aves after the 2022-23 Liga Portugal 2, rebranding itself as AVS Futebol SAD and adopting the defunct Desportivo das Aves's facilities and colours.
The other only time when the club had played in the second tier was in 1987–88 season, when that level was still regionalised.[1]
