Maritimo Rivalry

Based in the archipelago of Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean,Maritimo have a fierce rivalry going with CD Nacional. While Maritimo is mostly supported by well-situated people often involved in politics and owning successful businesses, Nacional fans usually belong to the working class, a clash so often seen in various aspects of life around the globe. There are also issues with Uniao da Madeira, with similar reasons behind them.

In the mid-90s, regional governor Alberto Joao Jardim had the idea of uniting the three clubs, with all three competing in the Primeira Liga at the time. Nacional and Uniao supported the proposal, while Maritimo firmly opposed it, believing that they didn’t need the help of the two ‘lesser’ clubs. At the moment, Nacional play in the LigaPro, while Uniao compete in the Campeonato de Portugal.

Maritimo History

The club was founded in September, 1910, under the name of Club Portugues de Sport Maritimo. They dominated the regional competitions early on, but in the 1930s, they faced a severe financial crisis. When the Primeira Liga was established in 1934, clubs outside of the continental part of the country weren’t allowed to participate, but they were included in the Taca de Portugal (Portuguese Cup) from 1938/39.

It took years of heavy discussions with the Portuguese Football Federation for the winners of the regional competitions to be allowed to compete nation-wide. As the winners of the Madeira regional competition of 1972/73, Maritimo were included in a qualifying round with the last of the II Divisao and the winner of the III Divisao and came out on top, to become the first club from an island to compete in the national championship. In 1977, the club won the II Divisao and earned promotion to the Primeira Liga for the first time, managing to stay there for three seasons.

In the early 80s, they moved several times between the top two tiers, and not until the 90s did they establish themselves as a regular Primeira Liga side. In 1993/94, they played in their first European competition as they reached the UEFA Cup.

They’ve repeated that success eight times since then, and they’ll be hoping to qualify again at the end of 2019/20.
