Portugal beach sports: free functional training and mixed volleyball tournament

The Cabedelo Training initiative offered two free functional‑training sessions on the sand at Praia do Cabedelo in Viana do Castelo, scheduled for 23 July and 13 August at 19:45. The classes were open to all ages and fitness levels, required prior online registration and were supported by the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth and the Associação Alto Minho, aiming to combine exercise with the sunset scenery.

On 12 July, the Praia Fit project hosted a mixed beach‑volleyball tournament on Praia da Rosa Branca in Quarteira. The event featured junior and senior categories for men and women, promoted gender equality in sport and attracted local officials, including the president of the Quarteira parish council. Teams such as Atlético Clube de Albufeira and Associação Desportiva Fénix de Loulé earned podium places, and the tournament was organized by Quarteira Beach Sports with backing from municipal and regional sports bodies.
