The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace is an annual celebration of the power of sport to drive social change, community development and to foster peace and understanding. To celebrate this day, even as we fight the COVID-19 epidemic, let's keep physically active, healthy and supportive of our communities: together we will prevail during this ordeal!

It has been abundantly proven that physical exercise is beneficial, both physically and psychologically. The old saying, "a healthy mind in a healthy body", has shown to be accurate by studies. Empirically, you can personally testify to a substantial improvement in your quality of life if you do some exercise.

Football, rugby, tennis, handball, volleyball, basketball... There are many options when it comes to workout, even a simple run in the street could do the purpose.

Sports were always seen as a positive thing when it comes to health and well being. But it goes a long way beyond that. It brings a series of benefits, not just for the individual but also to the whole community.

There's a clear sociological hole that physical exercise can fill. Namely, and especially, in inclusion! 

At this point in time, the preparations for all tournaments organised by Move Sports, due to take place in Lisbon during 2020, are in no way affected by the COVID-19 ("coronavirus") outbreak. The events will take place in Lisbon on the announced dates as planned. We currently have no plans to postpone or cancel any of the tournaments.  

Sports always had a tremendous and powerful bond with people. That force is the ability to move people. And that's unique. A sports fan would go all across the globe just to see his team, his idol or his country play.

It isn't easy to talk about death. Worse when the departure happens too soon. Even worse when it is about a man that grew to be an icon. A legend. You could say that he became bigger than the game itself.
