PortuGOAL’s “Talk of the Town” series is back! The feature this time focuses on Estoril Praia on the back of a highly commendable season for the club from the Lisbon coast.
We invite you to take a deep dive into one of Portugal’s more modest football teams but a club that is regularly in the top flight and which has made a habit of punching above its weight, as well as being a breeding ground for some of the country’s greatest coaches.
In addition to the individual report card from 2024/25, get to know up-and-coming Scottish coach Ian Cathro better, learn about the history of the club, and start planning your trip to one of the most enticing zones of Portugal from a tourism point of view.
