A.D. Marco 09 is a Portuguese football club based in Marco de Canaveses, a municipality on Porto district. Founded in 2009, it is the successor of the now-extinct F.C. Marco.[1] The club holds home matches at the Estádio Municipal do Marco de Canaveses, with a capacity for more than 6,000 spectators.[2]
History
[edit]After severe financial problems, F.C. Marco was prevented from competing in senior football competitions in 2007,[3] with its last season being the 2006/07. It was only at the end of the 2007/08 season that it definitively ceased its activities. In 2009, A.D. Marco 09 was founded, respecting the original colors and emblem.[4]
It made its debut in the 2009/10 season in the 2nd Division of the A.F. Porto. The team was promoted in its first year and spent the next three seasons in the second tier of district football before ending senior football in 2014.
It was a brief pause during the 2014/15 season, before resuming the senior team in 2015/16, again in the 2nd District Division. Since then, the rise has been rapid, culminating in 2023 with the historic promotion to the national divisions (to the Campeonato de Portugal).[5][6] Since then, the team has been competing in the fourth tier of Portuguese football.
In 2024, the club's members approved the return of the name and emblem of F.C. Marco, refounding the old club. The board intends to make the change official starting from the 2025/26 season.[4]
