The signing session took place in the Noble Hall of the Paços do Concelho, where support agreements were formalized to collaborate in the development of the regular activities of the organizations. The Mayor of Anadia, Jorge Sampaio, highlighted sport as one of the strategic pillars of the government.
The mayor also announced plans for the construction of a new sports facility for Squash and Karate at the former Escola Secundária de Anadia, with a public tender to be launched by the end of the year. For 2028, the project to create an Athletics Track is planned, responding to the growth of the sport in the municipality.
Jorge Sampaio also referred to the amendments to the Sentir Anadia Regulation, which will come into effect on January 1, 2027, aiming to simplify procedures. The reactivation of the “Desporto para Todos” (Sport for All) project was also announced, with broader scope and involvement of associations and parish councils.
In 2027, a training and awareness campaign on fan behavior in sports will be held, aiming to promote sportsmanship. The Mayor expressed recognition and gratitude to the associations for their work for the community.
In addition to financial support, the Municipality provides buses for transport, and associations can apply for complementary support for specific initiatives. The Municipality thus reinforces its commitment to the sports associative movement.
“"Sport is one of our strategic pillars of governance that we want to continue to dynamize."
The beneficiary associations include Anadia Futebol Clube, Anadia Squash Clube, Associação Desportiva e Cultural de Vila Nova de Monsarros, among others.
