Clube Atlético de Valdevez known as CA Valdevez or Atlético dos Arcos[1] is a Portuguese football club from Arcos Valdevez which was founded in 1945. The team ran into serious financial problems after the 2009–10 season and was stopped. They previously played in the Portuguese Second Division Serie A and finished in 3rd place during the 2007/08 season. They will continue to play their home games in 2012–13 in Estádio Municipal da Coutada with a capacity of 4,000.
The local town government, according to an article in an August weekly edition of the "Noticias dos Arcos", had donated 20,000 euros to help start the team's return to the districts league of Viana do Castelo. According to the website zerozero.pt, the 2012–13 roster features a number of players from local clubs such as Ponte De Barca and Proselense.

Prior to the club stopping, they successfully competed and during the 2008–09 Portuguese Cup they reached as far as the quarterfinals before losing in penalty kicks to First Division Club Nacional da Madeira. This match, which was moved from the Coutada Stadium to the new regional stadium in Melgaco, disappointed many followers who did not want to travel during a weekday to a remote location, which became necessary in order for it to be televised. Outside of hosting First Division Club Sport Lisboa e Benfica in a Portuguese Cup match in the early 1980s, the match against Nacional was the most important of the current generation.
