Club Sport Marítimo commonly shortened to CS Marítimo and just Marítimo (pron. IPA: [mɐ'ɾitimu], locally [mɐ'ɾitmu]), is a Portuguese sports club best-known for its football team that plays in the Estádio dos Barreiros in Funchal, Madeira Islands. They are easily the biggest club on the island of Madeira; overshadowing their neighbours from the Choupana Hills district, CD Nacional. Their most recent foray into European competition came in 2003/4, when Gustavo Manduca's calm finish gave them a 1-0 lead after the first leg of the UEFA Cup first-round tie against Rangers F.C. They went out on penalties after a tense second leg, but still maintain a formidable home record against European opposition, beating the heavyweights Leeds United F.C. whilst said club were in their hey-day. Marítimo are now regarded as one of the top 6 or 7 clubs in Portugal, and are widely known throughout the Portuguese speaking world, in countries such as Brazil, Angola and Mozambique.

[edit] Origins

Founded on September 20, 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, so as to distinguish themselves from rivals Club Sports da Madeira, who used the blue and white colours of the old Monarchy flag. 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 and expansive employer at the time.

The first ever match for Marítimo was a 2-1 win against Santa Clara, a select team comprised 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 the rivals CS Madeira.

[edit] Rivalries

Marítimo's rivals are Nacional da Madeira. The Madeira derby is often associated with the clubs' followers' differing culture and way of life. The fans of Nacional da Madeira, being of a higher socio-economic status than those of Marítimo, were mainly lobbyists for the commercial expansion of Madeira, but the working class Marítimo followers were keen to preserve Madeira. This only exacerbates the ill-feeling between the clubs, which is made even more tense by the fact that controversial regional governor Alberto João Jardim is a self-confessed fan of Marítimo.

The rivalry heightened when Portuguese starlet Cristiano Ronaldo signed declined an offer from Marítimo in favour of Nacional Madeira, where his Godfather was a member of the board.

[edit] Stadium

Estádio dos Barreiros

Marítimo currently play their home games at the Estádio dos Barreiros, the municipality stadium of Funchal. Although uniquely picturesque, the stadium is rapidly ageing despite numerous facelifts over the years and, for the best part of a decade, the club has sought after an alternative site for a new stadium.

Prior to their October 2006 betandwin.com Liga clash against Naval 1º de Maio, the club announced that construction would begin on the brand-new 10,000 all-seated Estádio do Marítimo in the nearby Praia Formosa area of Funchal. Although some concern has been expressed of the distance from the current stadium and the centre of Funchal (Located in the 'tourist zone' of the city), the brand new stadium on the outskirts of the city is well connected to Funchal's motorway network. It is hoped that the stadium will be completed in time for the start of the 2008/09 season.
