[1] It has one of the fewest teams in the Capeverdean football or soccer ahead of Brava's and São Nicolau's.

Until the early 2000s was the only island league in Cape Verde to have all of its football clubs in one town and also where there are no teams in the western half (though included) of the island due to a slightly low population, now the population compared to the eastern part is around half.

Académica has recently won seven consecutive champ titles in 2017,[2] of any regional championships, it became the next club after Botafogo of Fogo and Mindelense of São Vicente to do so.

Académica's next loss in a few seasons was at the final week losing to their second rival Marítimo 2–1.

Overall in any of the island leagues, Académica had about four years without a loss, though in a championship with a club less than São Vicente's and no second division, the record is tied with CS Mindelense's.
