Setubal is a nice altenative to Lisbon when it comes to watching Portuguese football. And Setubal is less than an hours drive from Lisbon. Setubal is also where Jose Mourinho grew up.
I just got back from Brazil, where I, among many things, watched two Olympic football games at the Arena Fonte Nova. Here is a little about my experience and what I think about the stadium.
Live football on 6 screens. 10 different local craft beer on tap. Hundreds of original second hand football shirts for sale. And a setting that is as far away from a setting that is as far away from a snobby upper class hangout as it gets. Welcome to Brecho Do Futebol in Porto Alegre.
Maritimo is one is one of my favourite football clubs to watch at the stadium when I travel the world. And I get to see them every now and then, as I work a fair bit on Madeira Island. They have a cozy little stadium in a great setting and a very lively crowd.
The crowd is small, but very passionate. “You son of a bitch”, flies through the air every minute and it comes from adults, children, old grannies. And whoever is watching the game. The game is not really that exiting. But the referee makes so many mistakes that it becomes a very entertaining afternoon anyway at the Olhanense football stadium.
