FC Porto is the club with the biggest representation in the Portuguese national team's squad for the Boccia World Cup. David Araújo (pictured), Diogo Castro and Carla Oliveira will wear the national colours in the competition, scheduled for 4 to 12 July in Póvoa de Varzim.

David Araújo, who is currently representing Portugal at the Astana World Cup, returns to the city where, in 2023, he became the first Youth World Champion in the sport’s history, to compete in the BC2 class.

The young Porto athlete will be joined by Diogo Castro, currently ranked sixth in the BC3 World Ranking, who returns to action with assistant Fernando Castro.

The blue-and-white delegation is completed by Carla Oliveira, the current two-time European BC4 champion and world number one. The athlete also returns to a place of fond memories, where she won a World Cup in 2022, strengthening Portugal’s ambitions for the event.
