Portugal Sends 29 Athletes to European U20 Athletics Championships in Tampere

Earlier this week, the Portuguese Athletics Federation (FPA) made a big announcement. They shared the full list of young athletes chosen to compete at the European Under-20 Championships. This important event will take place in Tampere, Finland. Track and field fans can mark their calendars for August 7 to 10.

Portugal is sending a strong team to Finland. The delegation includes 29 talented athletes. There are 15 young men and 14 young women ready to show their skills. This group is one of the largest Portugal has ever sent to these championships. In fact, it’s the second biggest team in history.
