<div><strong>1. The Rise of Portugal Cricket</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ranked 39th in the world, our Men’s National Team has become one of the most exciting emerging sides in global cricket — not because of money, but because of heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They give up holidays, family time, and personal finances just to wear the national colours. They train late at night after work. They fly across continents to represent a country they love. Every run scored and every wicket taken is fueled by pride, sacrifice, and belief.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>They don’t play for contracts. They play for Portugal.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cricket in Portugal is still developing—but its spirit is powerful. And now, as we push toward the World Cup Qualifiers, we are closer than ever to making history. With your support, we can take the next step.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>2. Our Vision: A Sustainable, Competitive Cricket Nation</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Portugal Cricket’s mission is bold:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Build a respected, competitive, and sustainable cricketing nation capable of qualifying for ICC global events — while developing the next generation of Portuguese talent within Portugal and around the world.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This vision is led by Head Coach <strong>Ayzaz Hussain</strong> and a leadership team focused on long-term growth, not quick fixes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/99096535_1768993430964122_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our 2026 roadmap includes:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Playing a minimum of 18 T20I's in 2026 compared to 20 over the last 3 years!
</li>
<li>Rising in the ICC Men’s T20I rankings from 43rd to 35th upwards.
</li>
<li>Growing and professionalising our women’s cricket.
</li>
<li>Launching a sustainable national Under‑19 program.
</li>
<li>Competing strongly at the 2026 ICC World Cup Qualifiers.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>3. Why Your Support Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Portugal has the <strong>talent</strong>, the <strong>ambition </strong>and the <strong>belief</strong>. What we don’t yet have is the financial stability required to compete consistently at international level.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To compete at World Cup Qualifier level, teams must be prepared, cohesive, and professionally supported. Our squad is global, with players based in:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Portugal
</li>
<li>South Africa
</li>
<li>New Zealand
</li>
<li>Australia
</li>
<li>Ireland
</li>
<li>United Kingdom
</li>
<li>India
</li>
<li>The Netherlands
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bringing this squad together requires significant travel and tight preparation windows. Without funding, we simply cannot field our strongest team — no matter how talented the players are. Your support directly covers:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>International travels for players &amp; staff.</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Accommodation and meals during tours.</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Local Transport &amp; Logistics</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Training camps and improved facilities.</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Player availability across multiple countries.</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Women’s and youth development programs.</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution — big or small — removes a barrier &amp; turns potential into progress.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>4. Women’s Cricket &amp; Youth Development</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2025, captained by ex <strong>England Test and ODI Cricketer, Sarah Foo-Ryland, Portugal Women made history</strong> — by winning their debut T20I series 2–1 against a higher‑ranked Norway. It was emotional, powerful, and a clear glimpse of what’s possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>To meet ICC requirements, they must play five more T20Is in 2026 which then makes us eligible for ICC funding.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/99096535_1769434469401463_r.png" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alongside this, we aim to launch a national Under‑19 program to secure the future of Portuguese cricket.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>5. How Your Contribution Will Be Used</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every Euro raised goes directly into Mens and Womens international competition and to the development of facilities in Portugal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Additional funding <strong>accelerates development of training and touring facilities in Santarém</strong> — a future hub for European cricket, and launching our <strong>new website</strong> with <em>cricheroes </em>which will support and strengthen domestic cricket structures as well.
</div>
<div><br />
