| As in many other European countries, Soccer is a major preoccupation. When an important match is on TV, whole towns seem to grind to a halt, the streets become deserted and the bars become full of men (usually) all eyes glued to the TV in the corner of the bar. Sad, but a fact of life. |
| The main teams in Portugal, and whose names you will hear repeatedly, are the Lisbon clubs of Benfica and Sporting, and FC Porto in Porto. In the Algarve, the major team is Portimão whose stadium is in the centre of the city near the “Modelo” shopping centre. |
