We celebrated a decade of dedication, excellence and commitment to the development of high-performance sport in Portugal.

The celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Pocinho High Performance Centre brought together athletes, coaches, partners and several leading figures from the Portuguese sporting community for a special occasion of celebration and recognition of the Centre's achievements over the past decade.

The ceremony was attended by the Secretary of State for Sport, Pedro Dias, the Chairwoman of the Board of the Portuguese Sports Foundation, Susana Feitor, the President of the Portuguese Paralympic Committee, José Manuel Lourenço, the President of the Portuguese Rowing Federation, Luís Faria, as well as representatives from several other institutions.

Over the past 10 years, the Pocinho High Performance Centre has established itself as a centre of excellence for athlete preparation, promoting the development of Portuguese sport and providing outstanding facilities and conditions for high-performance training.

A very special thank you goes to the students of the Foz Côa School Sports Training Centre for Rowing and Canoeing and to the Portuguese Junior Rowing National Team, who joined us in celebrating this milestone and helped make the day even more memorable. Your presence represents the future of the sport and reinforces the importance of continuing to invest in the education and development of young athletes.

To everyone who has been part of this journey and continues to contribute to its success, we extend our deepest gratitude. May this first decade be just the beginning of many more years of achievement, dedication and success.
