About Football
Football is the most important, successful and played sport in Portugal. In 2016 Portugal became European Football Champion and our player Cristiano Ronaldo is widely considered the best player in the world of the last decade with five Golden Balls. We also have two other players recognized with a Golden Ball, Luís Figo and Eusébio da Silva Ferreira.
This sport in our country moves thousands of spectators to the stadiums every week and Coimbra is not an exception to a lot of fans going to the stadium to support the city club Académica.
