Lisbon and Sporting Lisbon Facilities to Host the 2027 EMCA General Assembly

During the recent General Assembly in Sant Cugat, the European Multisport Club Association (EMCA) announced that its next regular Assembly in 2027 will be held in Portugal, hosted by Sporting Lisbon.

The choice of Lisbon is part of EMCA’s strategy to organize its annual meetings in cities and clubs with recognized expertise in managing multiple sports departments. The Portuguese capital is a destination with a strong athletic footprint, offering the ideal environment for knowledge sharing among the Association’s members.

The Assembly’s proceedings are expected to take place at the Sporting Lisbon facility complex, which includes:

• The Jose Alvalade Stadium, featuring modern infrastructure for hosting international sporting and administrative events.
• The Pavilhão João Rocha, the multi-purpose center serving the needs of the basketball, volleyball, handball, futsal, and roller hockey departments.
• Specialized training and support areas for individual and team sports, highlighting the functional structure of a major multisport organization.
• Educational and training facilities focused on youth athlete development and the integration of sports science into daily practice.

The 2027 General Assembly in Lisbon will serve as a central meeting point for strengthening cooperation, the strategic development of members, and the promotion of EMCA’s common goals at a European level.
