Villas-Boas hails Sousense’s rise: “District football matters locally” | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas, president of FC Porto, sent his congratulations to the man in charge of Sousense for the team’s promotion to the Campeonato de Portugal. In a letter addressed to Pedro Carvalho, the Porto leader highlighted the Foz do Sousa club’s “season of great consistency,” in Gondomar, and stressed the importance of district football.

“This result caps a season of great consistency and also serves as a reminder of the importance of district football to the vitality of our sporting ecosystem, but above all to local communities. It is in this context of closeness, commitment and local identity that serious, competitive and sustainable projects are often built,” it reads.

“Moving up to a new tier naturally brings new responsibilities and greater demands, but it also represents an important opportunity to build on the path taken so far and establish Sousense on a broader competitive stage. I therefore want to extend these congratulations to the Presidency and the Board, coach Sérgio Martins, the football structure, the players and everyone who contributed to this achievement. Please accept my best regards and sincere wishes for success in this new chapter,” Villas-Boas added.
