The Santo Antão Island League (South) is a regional championship played in Porto Novo, Santo Antão Island, Cape Verde. The winner of the championship plays in Cape Verdean football Championships of each season. It has one of the fewest teams in the Capeverdean football or soccer.

Until the early 2000s was the only island league in Cape Verde to have all of its football clubs in one town and also where there are no teams in the western half (though included) of the island due to a slightly low population, now the population compared to the eastern part is around half. The clubs are throughout the area.

Académica has the most number of island titles with ten, second is Sporting with three, third is Maritimo with two and last are two clubs with a single title Sanjoanense in 2002 and Fiorentina in 2008.
