Playoffs
Semifinals
The first leg was delayed as no extra keys into the stadium into Estádio Orlando Rodrigues in Tarrafal de São Nicolau were available due to unknown reason. On July 2, the second leg was played. A week later, Mindelense was unofficially awarded 3-0 and the club was still no entrant into the finals. Ultramarina appealed to the problems with their entry into the stadium. It caused the next delay of the national championship finals competition in nine years (but not overall). The first leg was rescheduled and the date of the match is not yet known.
