Testimonials

At Move Sports, we've been organising the greatest tournaments since 2008. Thousands of athletes from clubs, schools and academies from all parts of the world have joined us in Lisbon, Portugal to play rugby, football and now also handball and basketball.

David Harcombe
I have to thank you again for an exceptional tournament, easily the best-managed event I’ve attended in over 10 years with Doha Rugby. The biggest surprise to myself and the coaches, I think, was the Coaches’ Corner; something we’ve never before encountered, and very much appreciated.
David Harcombe Academy Manager, Doha RFC (Qatar)
Peter
The event is professional and well-prepared. The games were fantastic and high level, which made our team gain a lot of experience.
We are looking forward to attending the tournament next year!
Peter Beijing Dongcheng (China)
Derek Nellmapus
It’s been a great experience. We prepare teams well, we know that they are strong and equipped to compete, but it is only when we play overseas that we can learn and improve. This tournament helps us to provide an international and cultural dynamic to our academy that, along with the global rugby values, can play such a positive role in the personal development of a young person.
Derek Nellmapus USA Rugby Schools (USA)
Minna
We really enjoyed it. The weather was good, the location of our hotel was perfect and the tournament was well organised. Please include age group U20 so we can come back!
Minna Team Manager, HJK 02 (Finland)
Owain Lloyd
Each season we take the boys away for an end of season tournament. We wanted a stronger test and chose the Portugal Rugby Festival because we knew of its reputation.
It’s the top tournament in Europe and we will be back.
Owain Lloyd Pencoed Youth (Wales)
Paulo Seixas
Incredible: on October 27 we are at Nantes airport where we board on a Transavia flight to Lisbon. Monday, October 30, we return with the cup of the second place behind Benfica and the head full of memories. So, continue to believe in your dreams because some will come true! Thank you all for having believed.
Paulo Seixas Étoile Mouzillonnaise (France)
Marcell Putaura
This tournament provides a strong international test and acts as a sharpener for the season ahead. We come with a winning mentality but also to play our part in this festival of rugby!
Marcell Putaura Iron Armour Academy (Australia)
Joana Carvalho
Thank you for your warm welcome and for the event’s organisation. It was a fantastic opportunity for our players. I believe that the diversity of teams and their distinct levels were very enriching. We would like to participate next year.
Joana Carvalho Sporting CP (Portugal)
Hendrik Grove
We see this tournament as an opportunity and a platform. For our rugby teams, it enables us to participate in a strongly contested tournament at the start of the season to prepare us for the season. And in life, it provides camaraderie, memorable experiences shared with other cultures. It also offers us a path to develop our young people and a platform to promote our school on an international stage.
Hendrik Grove Windhoek High School (Namibia)
Thomas Ginn
A big thanks to Francisco and the guys at Move Sports for the incredible organisation both prior to and during the tournament! My boys thoroughly enjoyed the experience of playing against some very talented Portuguese teams – and every game was played in a sporting manner! I look forward to seeing the tournament grow next year!
Thomas Ginn Manager, St. John's Wood FC (England)
Russel Ticehurst
We’ve not participated before but I’ll be recommending this Festival to anyone I speak with when I get back. It’s a first-class tournament, strong competition, great organisation and a fulfilling experience for every member of the Club.
Russel Ticehurst Blackheath Rugby Club (England)

Can't skip Portugal. Can't skip Lisbon.

Lisbon was also Europe's Capital of Sports 2021, Europe's Leading City Break Destination in 2019 & 2022 and both the World’s and Europe’s Leading Seaside Metropolitan Destination 2022.

Safety

Safety is always one of the biggest concerns when travelling, specially with children, but not to Portugal. According to Global Peace Index (2022), Portugal is the world’s 6th safest country.

Culture

The cultural scene in Lisbon today is a vibrant combination of old and new, as the ghosts of Lisbon’s grand past echo evocatively around the city’s contemporary venues.

Modernity

The heart of Lisbon is filled with wide avenues, green trees, modernist-style buildings, mosaic decorations
and numerous cafes.
The city is now being reborn and renovated and was recently considered one of the trendiest cities of the world.

Lisbon

Weather

In general, Portugal boasts a temperate climate all year round with long hot summers, warm spring and autumn months and relatively mild winters. The city of Lisbon and its surroundings are located in the coastal area, facing the Atlantic Ocean.

Attractions

The capital, Lisbon, is a captivating city filled with fascinating history and can be explored very conveniently. Visit the famous neighborhoods of Alfama, Mouraria and Graça, the city’s oldest quarters and perhaps its most atmospheric parts. Nearby, Lisbon’s dramatically located Castle dates back to Roman times and offers breathtaking city panoramas over roof-tops and across the mighty River Tagus, the waterfront suburb of Belém - the departure point for Portugal’s great discoverers of the 15th and 16th centuries - and the impressive Lisbon sights, thoughtfully clustered together.

Friendliness

Portugal is an exceedingly friendly place. Its people are some of the nicest around to visiting tourists and truly have pleasure and enjoyment being good hosts. Most locals will speak perfect English without any visible annoyance, even with pleasure!

Leisure

The city of Lisbon has a fantastic atmosphere. The options for spending a free day in Lisbon are almost infinite, with its ancient and modern architecture, all kinds of interesting monuments scattered around every corner, exciting touristic activities such as City Bus, Tuk Tuk and Sailing Tours, or even its wide selection of high-end Shopping Centres. A must see for anyone who wants to experience southern European lifestyle at its best.

Easy Access

Lisbon is only 2 hours away from most western European cities and there are now many low cost flight connections to the city's main airport.
