CD Santa Clara vs CD Operario

One of the best parts of island sports is the deep set rivalries. Sure, Porto and Benfica have their rivalries, but nothing quite compares to two teams stuck on an island together. Operario and Santa Clara have been competing against each for over 60 years and the rivalry isn't looking to end anytime soon. Fierce matches and firmly divided fans have defined the two teams for most of their time. Though Santa Clara has for the most part been the more successful of the two teams. Santa Clara play their football in the Estádio de São Miguel, a 13,000 seater of an arena. Based in Ponta Delgada, the capital city of the Azores, the club was the first Azorean team to make it to a Europe-wide competition when they competed against FC Shirak and FK Teplice. Though they defeated Shirak 5 - 3 in aggregate, they would end up losing out against Teplice. Still though this marked a moment of triumph for an Azorean football club.

Azorean matches live

Os Açoreanos (The Azoreans), as CD Santa Clara has been affectionately nicknamed, are a spectacle to behold live. Their home matches set on the picturesque archipelago are an absolute treat for football fans. With little else to do on the island, the local fans turn out in huge numbers for live matches. Though 13,000 may not seem like much compared to some of the larger stadiums out there like Santiago Bernabéu which sits over 80,000. Estádio de São Miguel is in fact capable of seating over 15% of the population of Ponta Delgada. Talk about a turnout. Rarely do you see a team sporting that degree of local participation. Azorean matches are practically townwide affairs when fully packed. The team has also produced some of Portugal's football heroes like Pauleta. Formerly Portugal's all-time leading scorer, Paulete is a native to Ponta Delgada and played for multiple seasons at Santa Clara before moving onto bigger stages. If you are looking for a bit of footy with a side island charm, CD Santa Clara tickets are the purchase for you. They are available now on StubHub to be purchased or sold.
