Testimony: “Portimão has always been a city of opportunities for the practice of many sports. A proof of it are the many athletes that have been recognised national and internationally in different sports. This makes Portimão a reference for national sport and worthy of being awarded the title of European City of Sport. May this candidature be an even bigger encouragement for the city.”
