2017 Cape Verdean Football Championships | Sporting Clube da Praia | |
The 2016–17 season was the season of competitive football (soccer) in Cape Verde.
This was the second season divided into three groups and the first with a knockout stage. FC Ultramarina (Group A), CS Mindelense (of Group B) and Sporting Praia (Group C) finished first and qualified into the playoffs. The best second placed club who finished first Académica do Porto Novo also qualified. Another delay occurred in July and was the next such delay in nine years. The stadium access to Estádio Orlando Rodrigues was locked as the stadium did not have extra keys for the first leg due to an unknown reason. 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, Mindelense did not show up due to unknown reasons and Mindelense-Ultramarina Tarrafal club strength was probably 50/50, it wasn't held into August and after August 13, Mindelense was indeed disqualified and its second leg result was annulled, but several kept it as stood. As Mindelense lost 0–2 in the second leg and the first leg unheld. Mindelense was out of the competition and overall was fourth behind Académica Porto Novo. The match between Sporting Praia and Académica Porto Novo went one and won with a total of two goals to one with a victory in the second leg, Sporting had to wait 1+1⁄2 months for their final appearance where they won all two legs and won their next national title in five years.
