• Source: Cape Verdean football clubs in African competitions

    • Cape Verdean football clubs have participated in African football competitions since 1992, when Sporting Praia took part in the African Club of Championships Clubs. Six Cape Verdean clubs have participated in African competitions, and only one SC Atlético was disqualified as the federation did not name their entrant on time. Only Sporting, Boavista, and Travadores, the top three of Praia, competed more than once in its competitions, of which Sporting and Travadores are the only ones who competed more than once at the championships and Boavista in two of its continental competitions. The biggest success was the first round of continental championships, Sporting in 1992, Boavista in 1996 and Sporting again in 2008.
    The last Cape Verdean club appeared at CAF competitions in 2009; due to financial concerns and minimal scheduling difficulties, neither club qualified for the CAF Champions League. Never any Cape Verdean club competed at the CAF Confederation Cup, founded in 2004 after the merger of the CAF Cup Winners' Cup and the CAF Cup. Even though the Cape Verdean Cup was held in 2007, 2009, 2010, and 2012, neither club qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup due to financial problems.
    Cape Verde has recently become one of the African nations that had the least participation at the CAF competitions; one of the nations such as Chad, who first competed nearly the same time in the 1990s, has more presentations at CAF Competitions than Cape Verde. One example that Cape Verde has more appearances at the CAF competitions is they have more than São Tomè and Príncipe.
    No recent announcement has been made for the national champion to compete in the 2018 CAF Champions League.
