Aquiles de Oliveira Stadium suffers external structure collapse, but preparations for regional competitions continue
City of Nova Sintra, September 8, 2023 - Last Wednesday, the Aquiles de Oliveira Stadium, known as one of the pillars of local sport, suffered a collapse in its external structure, an area that had already been affected previously. Despite the considerable damage, reassuring news for football lovers is that part of the pitch remained intact, ensuring that preparations for the start of the regional competitions will continue as planned.
The incident occurred at a time when the city is facing the consequences of heavy rains that hit the region, causing significant damage to homes and roads. The Aquiles de Oliveira Stadium did not escape these climatic challenges and, unfortunately, saw part of its external structure give way due to prolonged exposure to the action of nature.
The Mayor of the City Council, Francisco Tavares, was present at the site to assess the damage and assure the community that immediate measures will be taken to rebuild the damaged wall. Tavares highlighted the importance of the stadium for the local community and the authorities' determination to ensure that the site is restored as quickly as possible.
"The Aquiles de Oliveira Stadium is an essential part of our city and a symbol of our love for sport. I assure everyone that we are committed to restoring the stadium and ensuring that sporting activities continue without significant interruptions", stated the Mayor.
Despite the challenges faced, the local sports community can rest assured that preparations for the start of regional competitions will not be affected by the situation. The team responsible for the stadium has already begun work on assessing the damage and preparing a reconstruction plan.
Due to the widespread damage caused by the rains, it is expected that it will take some time for the city and region to return to normal. Local authorities are mobilized to deal with problems arising from the flooding and are working tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of all affected residents.
While the reconstruction of the Aquiles de Oliveira Stadium is underway, sports lovers can rest assured that the passion for football continues to burn in the community, with regional competitions scheduled to go ahead as planned. The resilience demonstrated by the city is a testament to the community's determination to face and overcome the challenges that nature presents.
