The Campeonato Nacional II Divisão de Futebol Feminino (Portuguese for National Championship II division of Women's Football) is the second-highest division of the Portuguese women's football league system, after the Campeonato Nacional de Futebol Feminino. It is run by the Portuguese Football Federation and began in 2008.

Competition

[edit]

As of 2017–18 there were 56 clubs in the Campeonato Promoção.[1] During the first phase, clubs are divided into seven regionalised groups (Séries A–F and a four-club Série Madeira). The second phase comprises two groups of four teams (Série Norte and Série Sul). Each club plays the others twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents', for six games. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then head-to-head points, head-to-head goal difference, goal difference, matches won, and goals scored. The group winners are promoted to the following season's Campeonato Nacional and meet in a two-legged Final phase to establish the champion.[2]

After the creation of a third division whose inaugural season was 2020-21, the number of teams competing was reduced to 20 by 2021-22. In this format, the clubs were divided in only two series (north and South), with the best placed teams playing a subsequent phase to determine the champion.

History

[edit]
The Trophy

In 2008–09, coach Helena Costa steered Odivelas F.C. to the inaugural championship title.[3] In September 2018 Benfica made their debut in the competition and beat U.D. Ponte de Frielas 28–0. The result established a new record winning margin in Portuguese senior football, beating Sporting CP's 21–0 win over Mindelense in 1971.[4][5]
