Last week, we looked at rugby through some of the records, rankings and statistics that have shaped the international game.

This week, we turn to football.

Around 700 participants, 39 football teams and 16 countries came together in Morocco for the 2026 P&G World Cup. We look inside an international corporate sports event combining competition, hospitality, culture, entertainment and social impact.

There was one day in March that captured the strength of Portuguese sport particularly well. On 22 March, at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Toruń, Agate de Sousa and Gerson Baldé became world champions in the long jump, while Isaac Nader claimed silver in the 1500 metres.

Every sporting generation has a moment when the future starts to become visible.

It does not always happen through one spectacular final or one record-breaking performance.
