Portugal Summer Football Cup
Lisbon - July 1 & 2, 2023
The Portugal Summer Football Cup is the latest and most anticipated senior football tournament. To be held on July 1 & 2, 2023, during the summer, the event will have both 7-a-side (open & over 35) and 11-a-side (open & over 35) categories for semi-professional, amateur & university teams, and even teams of friends.

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.

Attractions
The capital, Lisbon, is a captivating city filled with a fascinating history and can be explored very conveniently. Visit the famous neighbourhoods of Alfama, Mouraria and Graça, the city’s old quarter and perhaps its most atmospheric part. 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. You will spot the waterfront suburb of Belém, the departure point for Portugal’s great discoverers of the 15th and 16th centuries, and other impressive Lisbon sights, thoughtfully clustered together.
