1965 Cape Verdean Football Championship

The 1965 Cape Verdean Football Championship consisted only a single match featuring the winners from Santiago Island and São Vicente. At the time it was not a national but a provincial or a colonial event, it was also known as the 1965 Cape Verdean Provincial (rarely Colonial) Football Championship. Unlike other overseas provinces of the Portuguese Empire, neither club qualified into the 1964-65 Portuguese Cup at four rounds before the finals, that was the last time, the next edition would bring the only club to the Portuguese Cup edition, the next time that neither club qualified into the Portuguese Cup would be in 1967. Académica da Praia won their only Cape Verdean title for the season.[1] It was their only Cape Verdean title for 53 years, their next would be a national title (as the archipelago became an independent nation in 1975) won on June 2, 2018.
