Club Sport Marítimo, or just Marítimo (pron. mɐ'ɾitimu, locally [mɐ'ɾitmu]), is a Portuguese sports club best-known for its football team that plays at the Estádio dos Barreiros in Funchal, Madeira Islands. They are the biggest club on the island of Madeira, overshadowing their neighbours from the Choupana Hills district, C.D. Nacional.
Their most recent foray into European competition came in 2004-05, 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 heyday.
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. The club's reserve team, C.S. Marítimo B, compete in the Portuguese Second Division.
