Show Notes
97. União da Madeira
We're joined by Director of Football André Encarnacao to talk about the life of phoenix club União da Bola Futebol Clube following the demise of their predecessor in 2021, C.F. União. Though both clubs are different in name and philosophy, the culture, legacy and heritage of C.F. União is felt through the continuation of União da Madeira - a name used to refer to any iteration of União in a sporting sense. Our discussion with André covers the history, culture and identity of both clubs as well as the unique identity of Madeira and it's place within Portuguese football.
