A project that grows with every step
Since we began the tour on November 9, each day has been a clear reflection of the evolution and maturity of our footballers. The training sessions, morning activations, and matches against elite teams such as Vizela and Famalicão have allowed us to measure our level and prove that constant work pays off.
With the final matches against Braga and Vitória de Guimarães still to come, we can already say that the team’s performance and attitude have been exemplary. The intensity, discipline, and unity of the group reflect the playing style and philosophy we promote every day at our academy.
We are thrilled to see each player embrace the challenge of competing in an international environment, showing not only their talent but also their adaptability to different styles of play.
A positive impact on our methodology and brand
The Tour of Portugal is not just a sporting experience; it is also an opportunity to strengthen SIA Academy’s identity as a reference in international football development. Each match, each training session, and every exchange with Portuguese clubs reinforces our commitment to excellence.
We have successfully positioned our methodology at the center of attention, demonstrating that learning through experience and teamwork is one of the keys to our success. In addition, the feedback from Portuguese coaches and professionals has been incredibly positive, highlighting the organization, tactical preparation, and attitude of our players.
This external recognition confirms that the project we have been building for years at SIA Academy continues to move forward with strength, consolidating our reputation as one of the most complete and professional academies in the European football landscape.
Integral development on and off the pitch
One of the keys to the success of the Tour has been the balance between athletic work and education. Each day begins with activation sessions that prepare both body and mind, followed by technical training tailored to the upcoming opponents.
But it’s not all about football. Our players are gaining a global learning experience through talks with Portuguese football professionals —analysts, fitness coaches, and nutritionists— who are helping them understand how high performance is managed within top-level clubs.
At SIA Academy, we firmly believe that education goes beyond the pitch, which is why we have coordinated our players’ academic follow-up throughout the trip. In doing so, we prove that athletic and academic growth can progress hand in hand.
The importance of team and coexistence
One of the most enriching aspects of the Tour has been the team building experience. We have organized a variety of group activities outside of training that have strengthened the bonds between players and enhanced communication.
Watching them support, motivate, and enjoy every moment together is a true reflection of the spirit that defines our academy. We feel proud of the cohesion and leadership emerging within the group, and we are certain that these experiences will mark a turning point in their personal and athletic development.
A Tour to keep growing
The success of the Tour of Portugal 2025 is having a direct impact on the international projection of our academy. The visibility we are gaining, the relationships established with Portuguese clubs, and the growing prestige we’re achieving are the result of the daily effort of our technical staff, players, and all the people who make every detail of this journey possible.
There are still days ahead, and we continue with the same excitement as on day one. We’re looking forward to the upcoming matches against Braga and Vitória de Guimarães, which represent new challenges and opportunities to keep showcasing the competitive and human qualities that define our players.
Looking toward the future
At SIA Academy, this Tour of Portugal 2025 confirms that we are on the right path. Our vision of developing complete footballers —with the right mindset, technical ability, and strong values— is reflected in every action, every training session, and every shared smile throughout this experience.
Success is not measured only in results, but in growth, learning, and the mark we leave in every country we visit.
We will continue to promote international experiences that broaden horizons and strengthen our identity as a global academy. Because beyond goals, victories, or scores, what truly drives us is seeing our players enjoy, learn, and push their limits.
At SIA Academy, we are living this Tour of Portugal with pride, commitment, and passion.
We know it is already a resounding success —and the best part is that there’s still more to come.
Because at SIA Academy, we don’t just develop footballers: we form people ready to shine anywhere in the world.
