2012/2013 SEASON STARTS THIS FRIDAY
 

The 2012/2013 National Championship Men I Division stars next Friday when CS Marítimo host AJ Fonte Bastardo in an anticipated match from the inaugural round, scheduled for Sunday.

Defending champions SC Espinho and Portuguese Cup winners SL Benfica will battle for glory once again, in what’s expected to be, one of the most competitive championships of the last few years.
Last season championship finalists, SC Espinho (18 championship titles), and SL Benfica (last 3 seasons runner-up, and 2004/05 champions) will have probably a stronger competition from contenders such as AJ Fonte Bastardo (2009/10 champions), Vitória SC (2007-08 champions) and Castelo da Maia GC (4-time in row champions 2001-2004).
