Book launch: The Presidents of the Portuguese Football Federation (1914-2024)
The book launch will take place on 3 February at 6pm at Cidade do Futebol, and will be hosted by Luís Marques Mendes, Councillor of State.
This book, coordinated by Fernando de Sousa and Diogo Ferreira, presents the biographies of the Portuguese Football Federation's presidents, as the leading figures of its Board of Directors, seeking to clarify how many and who these individuals were; what were their place of birth, age, education and area of professional activity ; what other sports-related, political and civic positions they held; how long did their mandate lasted; and what were their main objectives and achievements at the head of the institution. Our research team included: Afonso de Melo, Ana Carolina Madail, Bruno Rodrigues, Eduardo Barros de Oliveira, João Marcelino, José da Cruz Lopes, Manuel Couto, Ricardo Rocha and Rui Miguel Tovar.
