In July 2026 Portuguese cyclists competed in the European U23 Madison, finishing eighth and contributing to a total of 20 medals earned by youth athletes at a domestic competition in Vagos. 

By early August, Portuguese youth cyclists had captured national titles across several age groups, with double victories in both time trial and road race events. At the same time, the Portuguese junior equestrian team won the European team championship in France, while individual riders secured gold and bronze medals. The back‑to‑back successes underscored a period of strong performance for Portugal’s emerging talent in both cycling and endurance horse sport.
