The Águeda Municipality has initiated efforts to bolster local athletic activity through increased financial support and organized competitions.

In early September, the municipality announced an expansion of its Sports Development Support Program budget. Vice-President Edson Santos described the funding as a strategy to treat sports as an “investment in health, training, and social cohesion” rather than solely a competitive pursuit, specifically targeting the development of children and youth through local organizations.

Later in the month, the city hosted a triathlon weekend featuring both youth and adult competitions. The events included a youth sprint and the IX Águeda Triathlon, which is part of the Campeonato Norte Absoluto. The competitions utilized the Águeda River and local urban streets for various disciplines such as the Triathlon Sprint, Aquathlon Sprint, Duathlon Sprint, and Aquabike Sprint.
