AJAC de Calheta

Since the implementation of the two tier regional system in 2015, AJAC is one of ten unrelegated clubs of the North Zone of Santiago.

On March 11, the club lost to Desportivo da Calheta 4–0 and became one of three worst defeats of the Premier Division that season.

[1] The declaration was made and it became unofficial, AJAC had officially been relegated and would compete in the Second Division in the following season, almost all of it, for being a false champion.

After putting that to the federal level, In Praia, the Capeverdean Football Federation (FCF) officially declared AJAC regional champions on May 17 and qualifies into the national competition as the suspended player in a 16th round match was not fielded and scored not a single goal that match.

AJAC played its first ever national championship match on May 20 with Ultramarina from Tarrafal de São Nicolau.

At the 5th round, Ultramarina and Onze Unidos' win put both AJAC and Vulcânicos out of playoff competition.

AJAC had three straight losses, first to São Lourenço and was 9th place with 11 points and has a chance or remaining in the division next season.

AJAC continued to escape the relegation zone with one more match to go, with Tarrafal's Varandinha, it ended in a two-goal draw, Beira Mar's 5–3 win over Scorpion Vermelho.
