C.F. Andorinha

Clube de Futebol Andorinha is an amateur football club from Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, established on May 6, 1925.

They play their home matches at the Campo do Andorinha, a small stadium with a synthetic playing surface and seating for 400 people. The ground is located in the northern area of Funchal's Santo António "freguesia", on the outskirts of the city. It is in very close proximity to C.S. Marítimo's training complex, and indeed Andorinha's ground is often used to stage matches for the Marítimo youth teams.

The club's most notable former player is Portuguese international and Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo. Andorinha was Ronaldo's first team as a child. Cristiano Ronaldo's father also used to work as the technical director for CF Andorinha. Cristiano Ronaldo's strength and size was always an asset and, due to this, he originally played as a central defender, only later developing his skills and speed to such an extent that he became the winger that he is now famous for.
