Career & Clubs
Maia never competed in the top division, but had a nine-year spell in the second level from 1997 to 2006. In its first season in the category, it faced Porto in the Taça de Portugal, losing 4–5 at home in the round of 16 after eliminating Moreirense and Feirense in the previous rounds. The highlight of the club's history was in 2001, when it narrowly missed promotion to the Primeira Liga.
Decline and phoenix club
After the historic performance in 2000–01, F.C. Maia still fought for the promotion in the following years. But financial troubles soon arrived, and in 2005–06 the team was relegated to the third tier, the II Divisão. At the end of the 2006–07 season, Maia was relegated for the second consecutive time, thus falling into the fourth tier (III Divisão). It still competed in the 2007–08 season, but due to serious financial problems, the senior football team was excluded from the championship and then was shut down in 2008, keeping the youth football department. In 2011, F.C. Maia was officially dissolved. Meanwhile, in 2009, the phoenix club F.C. Maia Lidador had born in its place starting from Porto F.A. district divisions.
