Futebol Clube de Ultramarina (Portuguese meaning "overseas", Capeverdean Crioulo, ALUPEC or ALUPEK: Futebil Klubi di Ultramarina) is a football (soccer) club that plays in the São Nicolau Island League in Cape Verde. It is based in the city of Tarrafal in the island of São Nicolau. The team has only reached a few of the final games before and after independence.
Ultramarina is São Nicolau's most successful football (soccer) club having won about 23 official regional titles. The team currently has ten championship titles since their recent championship victory was during the 2014/15 season and continues the claim the most number of titles on the island.
The club was founded on August 28, 1965 and is the oldest club on the island, it was named after a company (probably seafood) Sociedade Ultramarina de Conservas which was a benchmark of the city. After independence, the old Ultramarina name was kept as people could not figure a new name after that company became dissolved, years later, some people know that the club name's etymology is different. It is uncertain that the club will adopt a new name.
Their worst season was in 2005 when the club fielded ineligible players in every match especially SC Atlético and finished last place as the goals were awarded against them. It was the worst and one the clubs that fielded the most number of ineligible players in West Africa and probably that includes a third of the continent.
FC Ultramarina went to the 2007 Super Cup played on January 8, 2008 and defeated the cup winner AJAT'SN with 3-1 in penalty kicks as the match was scoreless, Ultramarina received their second and recent title. Ultramarina's next six Super Cup appearances were not successful, their last was the 2014/15 Super Cup where they entered as regional champion, the club lost to a cup winner.
