## History

[edit]

The first edition took place in 1985. Cancellations occurred first to financial problems and only a few clubs that time, from 1986 to 1988, then from 1991 to 1992 and from 1994 to 1997. A few more cancellations occurred from 2004 to 2005, 2008 and there were no single season in 2010.

In 2009, two clubs shared the most number of championship titles and were GD Os Operários and Sundy, in 2014, it was three with Porto Real's win and Sporting Principe in 2016 which made it to four. In 2017, Os Operários again became the only club to possess the most titles with five. Sundy, Porto Real and Sporting Príncipe are now second in title totals with four each.
