Overview

CS Mindelense was the team defending the title. A total of 12 clubs participated in the competition, one from each island league and one who won the last season's title. Again more than three clubs shared the same club name starting with Académica numbering four out of twelve. Once again, half of Group B clubs would bear the first club name but only half would bear the name in the knockout stage.

SC Verdun of Pedra de Lume made their next national appearance in 34 years and first also featuring a group stage. Grémio Nhágar was the only participant of the north of Santiago that came from the municipality of Santa Catarina and Assomada.

The biggest win was Académico do Porto Novo who scored 5-0 over Sporting Clube from Brava. Mindelense scored the most matches at home numbering seven and was a record at the national championships.

The season would have the fewest goals in history after the expansion of the clubs to over ten, fewer than last season. Unlike last season, only two matches had nil points. Week 2 had the lowest scoring. Some matches finished 1-0 or 0-1.
