Portugal national football team supports cancer fight

The Portugal national football team is supporting the fight against cancer with a special wristband. With their last match ending in a 1-1 draw against Congo DR on June 17, 2026, the team is gearing up to face Uzbekistan at home on June 23, 2026.

What is happening?

The wristband was handed over to the Portugal national football team players by Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro. The wristband features the colors of the Portuguese flag and the names of the 27 players called up by Roberto Martínez for the 2026 World Cup.

Why is it important for the Portugal national football team?

The sale of the wristbands will help the Portuguese League Against Cancer. For each wristband sold, 50 cents will be donated to the League.

What comes next?

Exact replicas of the wristband offered to the national team will be put on sale at Continente stores in the coming days. The fans of the national team will have the opportunity to support Portugal in a symbolic way, sharing the same accessory used by the athletes, while contributing to the difficult fight against cancer.
