🥍 **Another week, another tour!

This week, the spotlight is on lacrosse as the Scotland Men’s Lacrosse Team faces off against the Towson Men’s Lacrosse Team from the USA under the beautiful Algarve sunshine.

The match was part of Scotland’s training camp and Towson’s Portugal tour, expertly organized by Sports Ventures.

And the lacrosse action doesn’t stop there! Next week, the sport makes its debut at the Algarve 7s Sports Festival in Vila Real de Santo António, bringing even more excitement to the Eastern Algarve.

We can’t wait to see lacrosse take its place on the festival stage! 🥍☀️🇵🇹🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

ALGARVE 7S SPORTS FESTIVAL DAY 3 | Open Water Swimming🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️

Algarve 7s 2026 Returns for Its Biggest Edition Yet The Algarve is set to once again host Southern Europe’s biggest international multi-sport festival.

We couldn’t think of a better place for a rugby tour and youth tournament than Arcos de Valdevez 🇵🇹🏉

Surrounded by natural beauty, strong traditions and a deep rugby culture, it stands out as one of the most welcoming and authentic rugby destinations in Portugal. On and off the field, it delivers the full experience.

When the opportunity came up to organize a youth tournament alongside Clube de Rugby de Arcos de Valdevez, it felt like the natural next step.

Today marked the first edition of the Primavera Rugby Fest. Clubs from across Portugal and Spain came together, creating a great atmosphere of competition, energy and camaraderie.

This is just the start. The goal is to grow the Primavera Rugby Fest into an annual international event, bringing in more teams and age groups in the years ahead.

A big thank you to Clube de Rugby de Arcos de Valdevez for the trust and partnership. Already looking ahead to April 2027 💪🌿
