History

[edit]

The club was formed on May 5, 1981[2] and was founded by players one of them was Jota (João José Cardoso da Silva) and students from Liceu Ludgero Lima located across the stadium southeast of the city center in the subdivision of Monte Sossego. The football club is named after the Cape Verdean music and dancing genre, the batuque. Many of its greatest players took part in European clubs, notably Portuguese clubs.[3][4]

The club's headquarters was built in 1990. The club celebrated its 10th anniversary in 1991. Later it became a registered club and played their first season in the 1996–97 season.[citation needed] In the 1990s, the coach for Batuque was Alexandre Alhinho, one of the nation's greatest coaches. In 2006, the club celebrated its 25th anniversary and in 2011, its 20th anniversary Around 2012, the next few coach was Piki whose actual name is José Alberto Soares Fermino, his later management gone sour as the club positions slowly dropped from third in 2014, then fourth in 2015 and fifth in 2016, its wins and points totals also dropped and the goal totals which had 22 in 2014 almost dropped by half in 2016.[citation needed]

Nhela replaced Piki in September 2016. Batuque did not have a good start for the 2016–17 season as they did last season, they started second and did slightly better than last season but had the first two matches victorious, first to Falcões do Norteh then to Ribeira Bote, they were fourth at the fourth round after a loss to Derby on January 29, then third at the ninth round after their win over Ribeira Bote, then fifth at the 11th round after suffering two losses to Salamansa and Derby, Batuque returned to fourth afterwards and they would finish at that position for the season, two last wins were made, first to Farense and lastly Académica do Mindelo.[citation needed] Batuque's final match of the season was a loss to their rival Mindelense which ended in 0–2. Batuque yet again had 20 points, they also scored 14 goals, two more than last season, their only worst was the club conceded 25 goals, the highest in the Premier Division.[citation needed]

Batuque started the 2017–18 season with a win over Salamansa and was in mid-position, a two-goal draw with the mighty Derby came up and was the year's last match.[citation needed] Batuque's first and only match of 2018 which was on January 7 was another win, this time Farense, Batuque took the number spot which Mindelense had for the first two weeks and is their current position, At round two, they had four goals scored, third in the region and later had seven which became second, shared with Castilho. At round 5, they did not lose a single match with their win over the mighty Académica. Batuque was still first with 13 points and 11 goals scored, still second. Batuque underwent two losses before a goal draw was made with Salamansa on February 17 and was third place. Another loss came to Batuque, this one to Derby, then a 1–0 win over Farense de Fonte Filipe. At the ninth round, they had 12 goals alongside Mindelense, a round later with their win over Farense Fonte Filipe, they had 13 goals alongside Académica.. Batuque made an 0–4 win over Ribeira Bote and became second in regional goals numbered 17. Batuque made a 2–0 win over Académica who is suffering another worst season. Batuque remains third and will be in the 13th round and has 19 goals scored.[citation needed]

[edit]

Batuque competed at the national level for the first time in the 2002 season, finishing second with fewer goals than Sporting Praia. The point total of 19 shared with Sporting Praia was the highest total in the national championships; no other club matched that total since, after the restructuring implemented for the following 2017 season it did not even supersede the maximum of 18 but only the combined portion, the new triangular phase became longer than the three early triangular phases but with three groups, this time with a playoff stage with four clubs that featured the second placed club with the most points (sometimes goals if the two has the same points) of that position of each group.[clarification needed]

Batuque's second appearance was in 2003 and their first in group stage, they played in Group B and finished third with ten points and did not advance into the playoffs. Seven years later, they made their next appearance and there and played in Group A, they scored the highest match at the nationals defeating Fogo's Botafogo 0–4 on May 22. The club finished first with 9 points and scored 9 goals and made them advanced to the semis. They challenged Santiago South's mighty Sporting Praia overall for the second time on June 19 and lost 1–0 in the first leg, the second leg was a goal draw and thus Batuque was out of the competition. They came back in 2012 after winning their recent island title and second time in Group A, they had two back to back wins and draws, they lost the final match to Académica Fogo and they failed to qualify into the playoffs after finishing fourth with eight points. Batuque turned a little worse after they loss to their rival Mindelense and became third. Then Batuque lost to Castilho before a single goal draw with Salamansa was made.
