André Villas-Boas: We’re committed to our community and members | OneFootball

FC Porto, the Santa Casa da Misericórdia of Porto, and the Local Health Unit of Gaia and Espinho from the North Rehabilitation Center (CRN) have signed a cooperation agreement aimed at promoting inclusion through sport. The agreement aims to affirm adapted sport as a tool for social inclusion, citizenship, and dignity, with a particular focus on wheelchair basketball and handball.

During the formalization of the agreement, which contributes to the "eclectic growth of FC Porto", André Villas-Boas thanked the involved entities "for their efficiency" and for contributing to the "growth of FC Porto's adapted sports", following "the commitment to better serve the community and members".

"More than celebrating the speed and efficiency of the signing of this agreement and other initiatives, it is important that FC Porto be a great engine for inclusion, citizenship, and equality," explained the president before recalling that "at the entrance of the Antas Stadium was a phrase and that phrase said that FC Porto was at the service of youth and sport": "It is in this sense that we want to continue to better serve".

Commitment Assumed"Within the scope of this agreement, there is an eclectic growth of FC Porto, particularly in adapted sport, so I want to thank the Santa Casa da Misericórdia and the Local Health Unit of Gaia and Espinho for creating this agreement, for the efficiency in signing it and for quickly starting to provide this service, firstly with the provision of wheelchairs for the practice of adapted basketball at FC Porto, which had its debut recently and was a tremendous success. Therefore, the goal is the continuation of the growth of FC Porto's adapted sports, we have the commitment to better serve the community and the members, and in this way, we are very happy with the creation of this agreement."

At the service of youth and sport"Fortunately, we have taken great steps in this direction, towards inclusion and equality, and I want to express my appreciation to the teams and professionals of FC Porto in the figure of Teresa Santos, the person responsible for Sustainability, and Joana Teixeira, who is the director of adapted sport. FC Porto has this obligation, more than celebrating the speed and efficiency of the signing of this agreement and other initiatives, it is important that FC Porto be a great engine for inclusion, citizenship, and equality. I recently recalled something that the most nostalgic will remember, that at the entrance of the Antas Stadium was a phrase and that phrase said that FC Porto was at the service of youth and sport. It is in this sense that we want to continue to better serve."
