Another highlighted topic was the assessment of actions within the framework of the National Sports Development Plan 2024-27 (PLANADESPORTO), which highlighted the degree of compliance with the 5 priority axes: school sport, community sport, high-performance sport, infrastructure and sports medicine.
The report presented by the National Director for Sports, Matos Cardoso, revealed weak dynamism in school sport in the years 2024 and 2025, while the chapters on training, infrastructure and results in international competitions showed positive performance.
Analyzing the period before and after the implementation of PLANADESPORTO, the results are encouraging. In 2022, the number of people practicing physical activity and sports was 2,788,340, corresponding to 7.8% of the population. By 2024 and 2025, this number had reached 3,164,467.
In sum, PLANADESPORTO represents a strategic turning point in Angolan sport, promoting the transition from a dispersed and poorly structured model to a progressive, integrated, and results-oriented system.
The activity was opened by the Secretary of State for Youth, Danila Bragança, on behalf of the Minister of Youth and Sports, Rui Falcão.
The event also included a speech by the Vice-Governor of the province of Luanda for the Political and Social Sector, Manuel Gonçalves, representing Governor Luís Manuel Nunes.

An advisory board is a strategic support body, composed of experts who provide non-binding recommendations and opinions to the management of a company or organization.
Without decision-making power or direct legal responsibility, its role is to enrich the decision-making process through diverse knowledge, external perspectives, and market analysis, contributing to institutional growth.
