The event attracts huge crowds, with large numbers of supporters coming from Spain. There has also been a definite tendency for these figures to keep increasing in recent years. This Championship is a truly global event, which tours the world’s leading circuits and involves important worldwide markets in motorcycling and consumer goods.

The Algarve will once again be represented in the upper echelons of Portuguese football in the 2009/10 season.

Since Faro-based club Farense were relegated seven years ago the Algarve has had no club in Portugal’s top division.|
