At the 2017 national championships, no luck or hope for a playoff entry was offered to the club as they lost the first match to Sporting Brava, a team that was considered weaker to Sal Rei. Later, Sal Rei lost to Sporting Praia and Derby and currently Sal Rei has a four match losing streak at the nationals and the club will not participate in the knockout stage. Sal Rei finished last in the group without any wins and 11 goals were once more conceded which became their worst season for the club, it was another slump the club suffered, overall it was the worst in the nation.
