On 30 May, between 6pm and 8pm, the Dez por Vinte courts in Santarém hosted the 1st J.J. Louro Padel Tournament – an initiative as part of ‘May – Health and Wellness Month’ which brought together 24 employees, organised into 12 teams, for two intense hours of sport, conviviality and team spirit.
With six fields in play simultaneously and more than 30 matches played, the tournament was a true example of energy, fair play and collaboration. The competition was close, but always characterised by good humour and the enthusiasm of those who shared more than victories: they shared moments.
Duarte Henriques and David Lopes took 1st place, followed by João Martins and Mário Mateus in 2nd, and João Barra and Igor Pinheiro in 3rd. However, more than the podium places, what really stood out was the positive atmosphere and spirit of unity experienced on and off the pitch.
This first edition confirmed what we believe: that sport has the power to bring people together, strengthen bonds and promote well-being. It was an excellent starting point for a tradition that promises to return – and grow – in the coming years.
