Clube de Desportos do Maxaquene, usually known simply as Maxaquene, is a sports club based in Maputo, Mozambique. The club is nicknamed Maxaca. Currently, besides football (soccer) there are two indoor sports, namely, basketball (CD Maxaquene Basketball) and handball. In such sports Maxaquene is the club with the most national titles after independence.[1] Maxaquene won its first post-independence title in football, the Taça de Moçambique, in 1978. Prior to Mozambique's independence from Portugal in 1975, CD Maxaquene were known as Sporting Clube de Lourenço Marques or simply Sporting de Lourenço Marques (Lourenço Marques being the name for Maputo before independence), and was the branch number 6 of Lisbon-based Sporting Clube de Portugal (Sporting CP).[2] Under this name, both the legendary Eusébio and Hilário, played for the club.[3][4][5]
