CD Santa Clara is a professional football club based in Ponta Delgada on the Azores islands, Portugal. It was founded on May 12, 1921, making it one of the older football clubs in Portugal. The team's colors are predominantly red and white, and they are known as "Os Açoreanos" (The Azoreans) due to their geographic location.
Santa Clara plays their home matches at Estádio de São Miguel, which has a capacity of around 13,000 spectators. Historically, the club has spent most of its existence fluctuating between the first and second tiers of Portuguese football, with varied levels of success.
Although not considered a major force in Portuguese football when compared to giants like FC Porto, Sporting CP, or SL Benfica, CD Santa Clara has established itself as a competitive team, capable of challenging the stronger teams in the Primeira Liga, Portugal's top division. The club's achievements include occasional forays into European competitions and maintaining a strong presence in the top league.
Their fanbase, while smaller than that of mainland clubs, is passionate and dedicated, supporting the team through thick and thin. CD Santa Claus strives to represent the Azores on the national football stage effectively and prides itself on developing local talent through its youth academy.
