Lisbon ready to receive the Champions League

Description

Lisbon (Portugal), Aug 6 (EFE), (Camera: Miguel Conciençao).- The supply of stadiums, training centers and hotels, the consensus between the sports, institutional and health plans, and a coordination in weeks of what is planned in years led to a new Champions League in Lisbon, where they feel prepared for such a challenge.FOOTAGE OF LISBON FOOTBALL INCLUDING SOUNDBITES BY DANIEL RIBEIRO, HEAD OF THE PORTUGUESE FOOTBALL FEDERATIONTranslations: "It is a privilege, because organizing something for the first time, in this format, is always a great challenge. But we are ready for this challenge and I think that in the future, when we see the legacy of this 2020 competition, the fans will always remember that the event took place in Lisbon and in Portugal. That's something that the Portuguese Football Federation and the country of Portugal should be quite proud of and honour that responsibility, which is huge."From the very beginning, the Federation showed itself available to organise a competition that had not yet finished from the previous season, due to the pandemic we are experiencing. I think that it is very difficult to find a capital city like Lisbon in Europe, with the conditions in terms of stadiums, training centres, hotels, airport, with a lot of proximity between places. We made a bid based on that proximity and also on the unconditional support of government institutions, clubs, health authorities, so that an event of this dimension could be held in Portugal, specifically in Lisbon, in this context.""The energy that everyone spent to arrive at solid planning and coordination, which in many cases takes two or three years, I believe that in Portugal we achieved in a short space of two or three weeks and that was beneficial to the planning.""I think that every experience has to be its own experience. This organisation of this competition accumulates, at least in Portugal, all the organisations that we have made with UEFA competitions. Last year we had the League of Nations in its first edition as well, in Porto and Guimarães. And it was an accumulated experience, as this will be another accumulated experience. I'm absolutely sure that if we make any bids in the future, it will be a different project."
