Morten Hjulmand was honored with the Roars of the Lion. This award is presented by the Sporting Nucleus of Leiria and the Sporting Museum of the same city, with the aim of highlighting the achievements and contributions of the great figures of the Club. Besides the Dane, the mascot Jubas also received recognition.

According to information shared by the official newspaper of the Alvalade Club, the 16 winners of the night organized at Quinta do Paúl have already been elected. In addition to the Danish captain of the main football team and the lion mascot, Edson Valencia, Vasco Matos, and Rui Borges are other main highlights.
