Clube Desportivo Portosantense, simply Portosantense, is a Portuguese football based in Porto Santo, Madeira. Founded in 1948, it currently plays in the Terceira Divisão, holding home matches at the Estádio José Lino Pestana, with a 2,500-seat capacity. In 2004, Portosantense first reached the third division, remaining there four years. In the 2007–08 season, the club finished 10th and missed out on the 6th place required to guarantee promotion through the play-offs; it was later relegated back to the fourth level due to irregularities. In April 2024, former Canadian national team star Alex Bunbury became the club's new President after leading an investment group to purchase a 90% ownership stake. Bunbury has stated his aim to develop a new stadium and to take the team to the second division within 5 years.[1][2]
