Club Sport Marítimo B is a Portuguese football club that currently plays in the Campeonato de Portugal. They are the reserve team of Club Sport Marítimo. They play their home games at the Campo da Imaculada Conceição in the suburb of Santo António in Funchal, Madeira.
Established in 1999, the squad is essentially an under-23 development team for the first team, who compete in the top-tier Liga ZON Sagres. They are restricted from promotion to the Primeira Liga, the top-tier professional league, and they are not allowed to compete in the Cup of Portugal and League Cup either. Players from the first team can be dropped down to the B team though as has happened on many occasions, and vice versa.
Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
