We hope you will join us in this event, because we believe that you will love the city host – Portimão – which is the 2019 European City of Sport, as well as the event and all our effort to make it memorable.
The ALGARVE – PORTIMÃO BOX CUP (APBC) has the following format:
Main Event (Event A) – 8 teams consisting of 6 male boxers (56kg, 60kg, 64kg, 69kg, 75kg, 81kg) and 2 female boxers (60kg and 69kg);
Secondary event (Event B) – designed for Junior, Youth and Senior, Men and Women in all Open Boxing weight categories.
In order to promote boxing and raise the level of competition, in the main event the team that has the highest number of wins will be the winning team of the Tournament and will receive a Prize Money, in the form of a “giant” check, worth 5,000 euros.
The secondary event will offer all athletes the opportunity to compete in the Algarve at an international level that we will guarantee to be a positive and enriching experience.
So, we want to welcome in Portimão, all national and foreign teams or clubs who wish to participate in this outstanding event.
