Santa Clara:
Santa Clara will be playing in the second tier from next season and this will be a great opportunity for the club to soak in the Primeira Liga at the Estadio de Sao Miguel for at least another 12 months.

Gabriel Batista, Pierre Sagna, Ygor Nogueira, Kennedy Kofi Boateng, Matheus Araújo, Bruno Jordão, Adriano Firmino, Ricardinho, Bruno Almeida, Gabriel Silva, Matheus Babi
Portimonense:
