Holy Cross Women's Soccer | Portugal Travel Blog

The Holy Cross women's soccer team is traveling through Portugal from July 28-August 5. Below, you'll find a first-hand account of their travels from members of the program.

JULY 30

“Today was such an amazing day in Portugal with the team! We started the morning with practice, and it felt so good to get back into a competitive training environment with everyone. After practice, we headed into downtown Lisbon, where we walked around, shopped, and took in all the beautiful scenery. It was so cool seeing the Cristiano Ronaldo statues around the city and experiencing the culture. To end the day, we went to a Benfica match, and the atmosphere was absolutely incredible. The energy from the fans and getting to experience a soccer match in Portugal was amazing. I’m so grateful to be sharing experiences like this with my teammates!”

JULY 29

“Today we landed in Lisbon at around 11:00 a.m. and then went straight to the hotel to check in. Afterwards we had free time to walk down the street to the beach and choose a place we wanted to get lunch. Most of the team all ended up eating together at one place, right on the water's edge. We then went to practice at Sporting FC’s facilities. Following that, we had time to come back shower, and chill before headed to an Italian team dinner!”
