“On the occasion of their qualification for the semi-finals of the European Football Championship, I want to congratulate the National Team for the result achieved, a reason for the joy and pride of Portugal and the Portuguese.

By demonstrating sportsmanship, determination and the will to win, the members of our National Team once again proved that, in the more difficult moments, the Portuguese wax greater and overcome the difficult challenges placed before them.
