Lisbon Grrrls Roller Derby

WITHOUT APRIL ‘74 THE TRACK WOULD BE EMPTY

Without the Carnation Revolution of April 1974, our track wouldn’t just be quiet, it would be empty. Every time we lace up our skates, we are standing on a foundation of rights that were once denied.
We skate because of the doors that were kicked open 52 years ago. Here are some of them:

Association: The right to organize our own league, skater-owned and skater-run. The right to assemble and speak freely.

Financial Independence: The right to own our gear and control our own futures.

Bodily Autonomy: The right to use our bodies for strength, for contact, and for ourselves, rejecting the “domestic ideal” of the past.

Q***r Liberation: The right to exist, to love, and to build a community where every identity is celebrated, not hidden.

We benefit from all that was conquered on April 25 1974. We don’t just play a sport, we exercise a freedom that was hard-won and must still be fiercely protected.

Without April ’74, there is no us.

25 DE ABRIL SEMPRE.
FASCISMO NUNCA MAIS.
🌹

If there’s one thing no one can accuse us of, it’s lacking creativity!

Now… whether it went well?
That’s another story.

‼️ BIG NEWS!
We’ve been working behind the scenes to bring something revolutionary to the Portuguese roller derby scene. We finally have a BANKED TRACK!

We’ve been dreaming of this for years and it’s finally here to change the game in Lisbon forever: Get ready for higher speeds, more G-force, and a whole new level of intensity.

Swipe left to see the journey to the incline...

..Did we get you? Happy April Fools! 🤡
That track looks incredible, but it’s all smoke and mirrors. We’re staying grounded on our beloved flat track.

GRRRL’XMAS 2025 🎄🛼

Same chaos, same love, same chosen family.
Old members, new members, all rolling into this tradition that feels like home.
May we keep finding in each other that safe space to be loud, soft, weird, and real, to be exactly who we are.

We are the team, the family, the ride. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤️‍🔥🫶

Today we join the global fight: November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

At Lisbon Grrrls Roller Derby, we stand strong and loud: no space for abuse, no room for silence.

We believe in empowerment, in listening, in action. If you see violence (offline or online) speak up. Support survivors. Be part of the change. There is never an excuse for violence.

A special thank you to those who believe in us the most: 🤝💙🏴‍☠️

OUT LOUD: WHO RUN THE WORLD?
