Santa Clara Rivalry

Positioned in the town of Ponta Delgada, on the island of Sao Miguel in the archipelago of Azores, just under 1,000 miles in a straight line west of Portugal’s Atlantic coast, Santa Clara have an ongoing rivalry with C.D. Operario from Lagoa, a little to the east of Ponta Delgada. However, the rivalry is strictly of local character at the moment, due to the fact that Operario compete in the Segunda Divisao, the third tier of Portuguese football.

There is also a rivalry between Santa Clara and the two clubs from the island of Madeira, south of the Azores archipelago – C.S. Maritimo and C.D. Nacional.

Maritimo competes in the Primeira Liga and therefore, its rivalry with Santa Clara will likely pick up interest, while Nacional play in the Liga Pro, the second tier in Portugal.

Santa Clara History

Founded in 1921, Santa Clara are best known in Portugal by their connection with Benfica, the country’s most successful club. In fact, the two teams shared the same crest until quite recently.

Santa Clara first requested to be admitted to the Football Association in the summer of 1927, and they played their first official game later that year. They earned promotion to the Primeira Liga for the first time in their history in 1999, but were relegated instantly. They came back up in 2001, and that was the first time they linked two seasons in the top tier. The 2002/03 season saw them break into a European competition – UEFA’s Intertoto Cup, where they managed to beat Armenian side FC Shirak in the first round, before being knocked out by Teplice from the Czech Republic. They ended up relegated again in 2003, and only came back in 2018.
