The 2023 season was Sport Recife's 119th season in the club's history.^[1] The year started promisingly for Sport, in the first few months Lions of The Island won an undefeated state championship, Campeonato Pernambucano, the last title had been won in 2019. The club also reached the final of northeast clubs cup in Brazil, Copa do Nordeste, for the seventh time in its history, repeating the final won in 2014 against Ceará. This time the team was defeated on penalties after a 1-2 away loss and a 1-0 home win. The performance in the Copa do Brasil was considered positive due the elimination against São Paulo, that would be champion of the tournament, only in a penalty shootout after a victory achieved in Morumbi Stadium. Despite the favorable results in the first half of the season, the last semester led to head coach Enderson Moreira's resignation^[2] by not qualifying Sport to the Série A, first division in national league, owing to a performance decay in the last rounds of the championship.
