Seven Americans connected to FC Porto – Lily Bryant, Cora Brendle, Eliza Turner (FC Porto Women) and Tanner Omlid, Jhonathan Dunn, Wes Washpun, Javian Davis (FC Porto Basketball) – gathered to discuss and clarify some of the main traditions of Thanksgiving.
The holiday, celebrated on the last Thursday of November, is considered one of the most representative in the United States, standing out for its emphasis on gratitude, family, and generosity.
Based on this logic of unity and sharing, the seven athletes exchanged experiences, talked about customs and typical dishes of the date, and shared messages about the feeling of gratitude.
Lily Bryant: “I am grateful for my family support network. And also for this opportunity [to play at FC Porto].”
Eliza Turner: “Grateful to be able to play the sport I love in such a great city and grateful for my family.”
Cora Brendle: “Grateful for my family and friends and very grateful to be here enjoying this experience.”
