The recent edition of Euro Winners in Nazaré was marked by an inspiring clinic that brought together a group of young people and children at risk of social exclusion. This special event, held in the coastal town, provided the participants with an unforgettable morning alongside high-level beach soccer players, referees and coaches. The day was designed not only to focus on sports but also to emphasise a vital skin cancer prevention initiative, stressing the importance of health care under the sun.
The clinic began with a warm welcome from the organisers, followed by an introduction to the fundamentals of beach soccer. The young participants were eager to learn and demonstrate their skills on the sandy pitch. It was a memorable moment within Euro Winners, where the participants shone with flashes of quality and talent.
Professional beach soccer players and experienced coaches held an interactive training session that provided the participants with valuable tips and techniques to improve their game, fostering a sense of achievement and confidence. This clinic not only enabled participants to enhance their beach soccer skills but also offered them a unique experience of interaction and motivation, leaving a significant impact on their lives. Undoubtedly, it was one of the highlights of this edition of Euro Winners, demonstrating the transformative power of sport and community.
In addition to the sports activities, the clinic featured a crucial health awareness segment focusing on skin cancer prevention. Together with the Cancer Prevention Portuguese League, we provided the young participants with essential information about the risks of prolonged sun exposure and the importance of using sunscreen and wearing protective clothing. This initiative was especially pertinent given the outdoor nature of beach soccer, reinforcing the message that health and safety are paramount.
