The Madeiran sports club Marítimo has recently marked significant milestones following its promotion to the Portuguese First League (I Liga).

In late August, the club released a documentary titled ‘Marítimo é de Primeira’, which chronicles the challenges and efforts involved in their ascent from the second division. Club president Carlos André Gomes noted the film aims to preserve the history of the club’s time in the lower division for future generations.

By late September, the institution celebrated its 116th anniversary with gatherings at its sports complex in Santo António. President Gomes described the anniversary as especially significant due to the team’s return to the top tier of Portuguese football. He stated that current season results after seven rounds are meeting expectations, with the primary objective being to secure league maintenance.
