COUNCILMAN JORGE SAMPAIO: THE CHOICE
OF ANADIA FILLED US WITH PRIDE
 

Men’s National Team left Anadia today where, in the past weeks, the team prepared for the FIVB 2013 World League participation.

Being the newest Portuguese Volleyball Federation partner and National Team host for the first time ever, the Anadia City Hall meant to officially address the best wishes in the person of Jorge Eduardo Ferreira Sampaio, Sports, Youth and Tourism Councilman of the City Hall.

“It’s always with great pride that we host a National Team, therefore, we worked together with FPV for this training camp to be the first of many.
As the departure day approaches, I wish you all the best of luck, as a Portuguese and as a Councilman, that you can bring success to our country as you are representing it”.

The balance of this first experience with Volleyball…
“… It’s extremely positive. The fact of having here our National Team, of our players are training here for major international events, the fact that they have chosen Anadia to do so, fill us with great pride. We can only hope to match their expectations, what I think we do so far, in order for them to achieve success. This is our goal, so when they leave, they wish to comeback”.

Sports are lived at Anadia.
“Anadia has been dedicating to sports for the past 12 years. The construction of sporting structures was due to main goals: create excellent conditions for the habitants to practice sport, for helping with the youngsters’ education and to bring here foreign teams, in order to boost our tourism and hospitality industry.
We signed this partnership with FPV as we already did with the Cycling, Judo, Basketball and Gymnastics Federations. During the entire year, thousands of athletes pass by Anadia Training Center. In late January we passed the over 40 countries mark that already trained here. We’re proud to be a Training Center of excellence, which manages to welcome all sports”.
