Jornal de Negócios4 September 2026 at 12:37

The freguesia of Vila das Aves, formerly designated Freguesia das Aves, approved the alteration of its name to Freguesia de Vila das Aves, in a vote by unanimity and acclamation. This change comes 71 years after the previous designation.

The territory is the headquarters of AVS, a team competing in the Portuguese II Liga football league. The team's stadium serves as the club's address and is located in this freguesia.

The proposal to change the name was approved by the local residents, who voted unanimously and by acclamation, demonstrating the community's consensus around this change.

The freguesia thus alters its official designation, incorporating the toponym "Vila" into its name, a change that reflects the local identity and the history of the territory where the club is established.
