Associação Académica da Preguiça is a football (soccer) club based in the port village of Preguiça on the island of São Nicolau, and plays in the São Nicolau Island League. Along with Praia Branca and Caleijão, a club once existed, it never won any titles.
The club was founded around the late 20th century and is an affiliate of the Portuguese club Académica de Coimbra.
Its logo colors are the same to that of Académica Coimbra's, differences is where it has a P on the left, its club name is on the bottom.
The club became registered in 2011 and played its first season in 2012. It was not the continuation of the club that was Caleijão, it replaced that club as that had financial and material problems. In 2014, the club finished seventh and had 13 points, 3 wins and 4 draws, the club only scored 10 goals and conceded 20 goals, third worst ahead of Desportivo Ribeira Brava. Preguiça started first, then fourth as SC Atlético took it, then fallen to 7th at the fifth round and climbed back to 5th a the 6th round, lost it at the 7th round, then brought it again afterwards and kept it for the remainder of the season. Their positions picked up in 2015 by two and finished 5th with 17 points and had 5 wins and two losses, they scored 16 goals, it equalled to the goals conceded for the club. No additional three points were made and was a probable possibility as one of two April 29 matches were not held, that one featured Ribeira Brava. The club lost a position in 2016 where they finished 6th with 13 goals and had 4 wins, they scored 15 goals, that season, the club started sixth but was fifth from the third to ninth rounds and 7th in rounds 12 and 13. The success had come for Académica Preguiça in 2017, they started third then for two weeks took the number one spot. Their season's first match was a win over Ribeira Brava, two more wins were made over Praia Branca and Talho, the worst clubs of the island, Ultramarina Tarrafal took it and it seemed it for the rest of the season and Académica Preguiça fallen to third, in the next round, second place they would be as they made a win over AJAT'SN on March 11. Académica made another win Ribeira Brava on March 18, followed by a draw with Ultramarina and a scoreless one with Praia Branca. The club was heading for an attempt to win their only title, they defeated Talho and Belo Horizonte in rounds 11 and 12. Their final attempt of being regional champions entirely disappeared as they lost an April 29 match to AJAT'SN and the club was third for a week. The final match of the season defeated the island's greatest club, Atlético 3-1 and the club finished second, their best position and had 28 points and 8 wins which became club record. They scored 22 goals which was less numerous than the island's two most popular clubs.
