Pombal wants to continue being "one of the main national references of winter athletics"

Região de Leiria11 September 2026 at 09:30

The Municipal Chamber of Pombal expressed the ambition to continue being one of the main national references of winter athletics. This intention arises in the context of an agreement that involves the transfer of a short track to the city.

The Portuguese Athletics Federation (FPA), in collaboration with the Spanish and Catalan federations, managed to secure the transfer of a short track to Pombal. This international partnership demonstrates the recognition of the city as a privileged location for the practice of athletics.

The project is being developed in coordination with the Portuguese institution and the Government. At this moment, the entities involved are working on defining the costs associated with the transport of the track, its assembly, and the necessary structure to host the equipment.

This investment represents a joint effort between the federations and the political authorities to ensure that Pombal maintains its status in the national athletics scene, particularly during the winter season.

Rally of Water advances with reformulated route after negative opinion in Spain

The Rally of Water will proceed with a completely reformulated route after Madrid's DGT maintained a negative opinion that made the stages planned in Spain unfeasible. The organization, led by CAMI Motorsport in partnership with the Eurocity Chaves-Verín, had to urgently reorganize the entire structure of the event, opting to repeat the Chaves stage (12.16 km) three times instead of the initially planned cross-border stages. The symbolic start remains at the Main Square in Verín, but the event loses its cross-border character. The organization acknowledges the "enormous inconvenience" and promises to continue working to strengthen the link between Chaves and Verín. With the changes, the rally now features 99.90 kilometres of timed stages over a total route of 296.06 kilometres.
