In less than a week, the teams of Europe will hit the fields in Lisbon, Portugal for the 2016 Euro Cup. Already players would be jumping out of their skins waiting for that siren to blow and waiting for that first touch of the leather to calm the nerves.

One team that has more excitement than most is the Portuguese l national team. Drawn in Pool C to play matches against Germany, Norway and Scotland as well as positional matches for final event placings, the Portugal team has also released its playing strip for the event.
David Valente, president of Futebol Australiano em Portugal, and one of the three directors of the Lisbon team that have put the event together, knows that they are ready to go for match day, one that will be huge for the development of the game in Portugal.

But equally important for the players is the desire to pull on the playing kit next Saturday and represent their country.
