About CS Marítimo

CS Marítimo is a Portuguese football club based in Funchal, on the island of Madeira. Founded in 1910, the club is one of the oldest and most important football institutions outside mainland Portugal. Marítimo is known for its green and red colours, passionate supporters, and strong regional identity, representing Madeira in national football competitions for more than a century.

Throughout its history, Marítimo has spent many seasons competing in the Primeira Liga and became one of the most stable Portuguese clubs outside the traditional “Big Three.” The club regularly fought for places in European competitions and participated in tournaments such as the UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League. Although Marítimo has not won the Portuguese league title, it reached the final of the Taça de Portugal on multiple occasions and earned respect for its consistency and competitive performances.

The team plays its home matches at Estádio do Marítimo in Funchal, a modern stadium located near the Atlantic coast. Marítimo has also developed many talented players and maintained strong rivalries with other clubs from Madeira, especially Nacional. Even during difficult periods and relegation battles, the club has remained an important symbol of Madeiran football and continues to hold a respected place in Portuguese football history.
