Villas-Boas said that football will always be the club's main sport, assuming the desire to “create partnerships and academies related mainly to football”, but also to other sports.
“The Angolan people continue to grow from a sporting point of view in various modalities, with new talents, namely in basketball, in women's handball, which is a sport that FC Porto does not have in its female aspect, but which it would like to implement and also in roller hockey,” he said.
Villas Boas assured that the Angolan government will provide full support for the materialization of sports protocols in Angolan and Portuguese territories, after meeting with the country's Minister of Youth and Sports, Rui Falcão.
The Porto leader admitted that the club can participate in the festivities marking the 50th anniversary of independence, to be celebrated in November next year.
“We also talk about the festivities that are related to Angola's 50 years of independence, and we hope that FC Porto can also be present in these festivities in whatever form, but that it also follows this purpose of being close to the Angolan people” he said.
Angola's Secretary of State for Sports, Paulo Madeira, said that the government posed a challenge to FC Porto, in order to take advantage of the fact that the club has “one of the most competent medical departments in Portugal”.
Paulo Madeira expressed the government's interest in Porto's collaboration with the National Center for Sports Medicine (CENAMED), so that there is an increase in competent staff in terms of sports medicine, which allows the implementation of “as a mandatory measure the necessary carrying out of so-called health exams”. physical fitness for all athletes”.
