Derby won the most matches at the national championships and remains one of the records as of 2016.
There were no competitions on the third week of May (May 17 & 18) due to the 2008 local elections.
Platini played his last match for Sporting Praia and a Cape Verdean team on the second leg of the finals before moving to Académica de Coimbra in Portugal in the following season.
The semifinals were originally scheduled for July 5 to 11, as an ineligible player was fielded, they were rescheduled to July 26 and August 2 and the finals on August 9 and 16. It interrupted the 2nd Cape Verdean Cup which was to take place in August, it was indeed cancelled, the second edition of the cup took place in the following year.
The next such rescheduling was in 2017 between Ultramarina Tarrafal of São Nicolau and Mindelo's Mindelense of São Vicente as Estádio Orlando Rodrigues had no extra keys for opening its doors so players can play a first leg match along with the personnel.
