Club Sport Marítimo has a long history in Portuguese football. Although the club was excluded from participating in the national championships for several years, this article includes statistics and records recorded throughout the club's history.
Statistics Seasons in regional competition
From 1916 until 1973, Marítimo competed in regional competitions due to logistical and administrative restrictions that prevented island-based clubs from entering the national Portuguese football league system. Between 1922 and 1938, Madeira was entitled to select one representative for the Campeonato de Portugal, a national knockout competition contested by regional champions. Until 1927, qualification was granted directly to the winners of the Madeira Championship, through which Marítimo earned entry and won the 1926 edition — the club’s only national title to date. From 1927 onward, Madeira’s representative was determined through a local qualification tournament, and from 1933 these qualifying rounds were expanded to include the champion of the Azores. In 1934, the Portuguese Football Federation introduced a new national league, but participation was restricted to clubs from Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra and Setúbal, thereby excluding island teams. After the Campeonato de Portugal was replaced by the Portuguese Cup in 1938, island clubs were again barred from national competition between 1941 and 1947 due to wartime transport difficulties. The league system finally opened to island-based teams in 1973, enabling Marítimo to enter national league football as champions of Madeira.
