The Associação Desportiva e Recreativa Académica de Macau (ADRAM) team was crowned champion of the inaugural Macau Football League Women’s Division after defeating Sporting 7–0 in the final round at Lin Fong Stadium.
With this result, ADRAM finished with 14 points across six matches, holding a narrow edge over its closest rival, Artilheiros.
Ultimately, ADRAM’s 1–0 victory over Artilheiros in Round 4 proved decisive and paved the way for the championship.
In the first edition of the Women’s League, the championship featured four teams –ADRAM, Artilheiros, Hong Fong, and Sporting – in a tournament that ran for just under two months.
As reported earlier by the Times in an exclusive interview with ADRAM’s captain, Sara Fonseca, the league was a long-standing ambition of football fans and local female players, who believed it could bring significant benefits to the sport’s development, especially for the Macau national team.
“This league was a long promised project from years ago. We were told that it was being tried, and it’s great that it is now a reality, because we really miss playing,” Fonseca told the Times. RM
