The club is regarded as an important club in Portugal, and is widely known throughout the Portuguese speaking world, in countries such as Brazil, Angola, and Cape Verde. Marítimo is best known for its football team that currently plays in the top-flight competition, the I League. The club's reserve team, Marítimo B, compete in the II League. Aside from football, Marítimo also have teams in other sports competing in the national leagues, such as volleyball, handball, roller hockey and athletics. Marítimo supporters are nicknamed ''Maritimistas''. Marítimo have dominated Madeira's regional football scene since its establishment. The club hold one national title, the Campeonato de Portugal,〔From 1922 to 1938, the Portuguese champion was determined in a knock-out competition called ''Campeonato de Portugal'' (Championship of Portugal). With the formation of the league, this competition later became the national cup (Portuguese Cup)〕 won in 1926. After a long period without being able to participate in national championships, they finally made their appearance in 1973.〔Between 1934 and 1972, due to logistic problems and the difficulties traveling to the mainland, the clubs from the portuguese islands did not participate in the national championships〕 Since then Marítimo was present for thirty-four times in Primeira Liga, was two times runners-up of the Taça de Portugal, was one time runners-up of the Taça da Liga, and participated eight times in the UEFA Cup/Europa League. The club also won the II Divisão twice. Marítimo's most recent foray into European competition came in 2012, when they achieve the group stage of the Europa League. Nevertheless, Marítimo still maintain a proud home record against European opposition with victories over Rangers, Aarau and Leeds United. The football team has produced and featured many notable names in recent years, including Pepe of Real Madrid, Danny of FC Zenit and Nuno Valente, formerly of Everton, to name just a few. According to the ranking of the prestigious International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) Marítimo is considered the fifth best Portuguese club of this century.〔Club Sport Marítimo arises in the European rankings in position 144, and in the world ranking in position 246.http://www.iffhs.de/?82c48d3171fd33400f06〕 This ranking also confirms the status of the Club Sport Marítimo as the best club in Madeira in the 21st century.〔(IFFHS )〕 == History == Marítimo was founded on 20 September 1910 as ''Club Português de Sport Marítimo'', by Cândido Fernandes de Gouveia. The club adopted the red and green colours of the new Republican flag of Portugal to distinguish themselves from rivals ''Club Sports da Madeira'', who used the blue and white colours of the old monarchy flag which had been replaced 15 days earlier. The name ''Marítimo'', meaning Maritime in English, was used to reflect the fact that many of the team's players were workers of the nearby Funchal docks, a prominent employer at the time. The first ever match for Marítimo was a 2–1 win against Santa Clara, a select team composed of workers of Western Telegraph Company, and soon after began playing teams of sailors from visiting British ships. José Rodrigues Barrinhas, an old-fashioned attacking centre-half, made a name for himself in these games and in matches against rivals CS Madeira. In 1921–22, the Portuguese clubs started playing a new national competition. The Campeonato de Portugal, played on a knock-out-basis (similar to the current Taça de Portugal), was the first national competition. After competing in the regional championships, the regional winners compete together to pick the Champion of Portugal. Fruit of the internal domain, Marítimo make 13 appearances in the 17 editions of the competition.〔Lisboa, Agosto 2007 "Guia de Futebol 2007/2008", editado pelo Jornal Record, pág.112〕 After several attempts, the club finally won the Campeonato de Portugal in 1925–26. In the semi-final against F. C. Porto, Marítimo won by 7–1. In the final against C.F. Os Belenenses Marítimo won by 2–0. It was after this great achievement that Marítimo was called "The Greatest of the Islands". In the early 1930s, the club faces a serious financial crisis, without putting in cause its supremacy in the regional competitions. However, in 1934, they create a new national competition called Primeira Liga, in which the teams outside the continental territory were excluded. Nevertheless, in 1938–39 the teams from the islands start to participate in Taça de Portugal, after the champions of Madeira and Azores play a qualification round between them. Being exclude from compete in the Primeira Liga, the club continues playing in regional competitions. It was in this period that the club won many of the Regional Championships. In 1950, the team made an amazing tour in Africa in which they made great achievements, raising high the name of the region. Since 1934 the clubs of the Portuguese islands were excluded from participating in the national championships. However, after arduous negotiations with the Portuguese Football Federation, it was established that the winner in the regional championship of 1972–73, will play a qualifying round between the last of the II Divisão and the first of the III Divisão. Marítimo wins that regional championship and start to participate in the national championships. It was the first team from a Portuguese island to participate in the national championships. For the history stays the 35 Madeira Championships that Marítimo won between 1916–1973.〔http://afmadeira.fpf.pt/Portals/29/Documentos/competicao/historico/Seniores1Divisao".pdf〕 Marítimo was the first club outside continental territory to gain access to the First League in Portugal. Since then the club amassed 31 appearances in the higher tier of Portuguese football – being the 10th club with more appearances in the first league in its 77 editions.〔(Liga Portuguesa :: Campeonato dos Campeonatos :: zerozero.pt )〕 The consequences of long years without being able to compete regularly in national competitions were visible in the beginning. The fact that the island was not able to put teams in national competitions show the discrepancies in terms of infrastructures and organization between the regional and national reality. Yet the club in 1976–77 wins the II Divisão and rises to the Portuguese First Division, remaining there for over three seasons, thanks to the selflessness and race of its players. Due to the existing semi-professionalism and some logistical difficulties, the club is relegated to Second Division in 1980–81, rising immediately next season, winning for the second time the II Divisão. However this rises and falls, after two seasons the club return to Primeira Liga in the 1982–83. Since then the club remains in the Primeira Liga consolidating is status of a team that compete to achieve a European competition. Until the early 1990s, the club's best result was 9th in season 1987–88.〔Lisboa, Agosto 2007 "Guia de Futebol 2007/2008", editado pelo Jornal Record, pág.266〕 The entry of a young coach of 35 years, the ambitious Brazilian Paulo Autuori, allied to greater internal organization, make that in 1991–92 the club reached the 7th place, staying just outside of a possible European qualification. In the 1992/1993 season lived up to the times called wonder-trio (Ademir, Edmilson and Jorge Andrade), betting on Autuori attractive football and with the third best attack of the League (56 goals). The qualification comes in the final round after a game against Boavista FC, with victory of Marítimo 3–2. In that same season is also important the home wins against Sporting Clube de Portugal (4–2) and against Gil Vicente FC (7–0). Again the club was a pioneer, being the first island team to achieve a qualification for a European event, under the 5th place achieved. Since then the club has been a constant presence in prominent places in the Portuguese championship, having consolidated its position of prominence. In 1994–95, another great achievement was made when the club qualify to the final of the Taça de Portugal, after defeating Porto in the semi-finals by 1–0. Marítimo disputes the final against Sporting, losing by 2–0. Six years later, in 2000–01 season, Marítimo achieved the final again, after defeating Boavista in the semi-final by 1–0. This time Marítimo play the final against Porto, losing again by 2–0. However, Marítimo still remain the only club in Madeira that reached the final of Taça de Portugal. Marítimo achieved a status of a club that struggles every season to reach a European competition. As of the 2011–12 season, the club has played 32 campaigns at the top level of Portuguese football, where they have competed continuously since 1985–86. The best ever league finish was 5th place obtain in 1992–93, and since then they had finish another five times in that position. Also Marítimo in the recent years is often seen in the European competitions, where recently got his eighth appearance in the Uefa Cup/Europa League. In the 2012–2013 season, Marítimo qualified for the first time for the group stage of the Europa League. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「C.S. Marítimo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
