The municipality of Albufeira will once again host hundreds of athletes, including international players, for the 2nd edition of the Albufeira Beach Tennis Tour.

The event will take place at Praia dos Pescadores and will be held in partnership with Aduane Sports Solutions, under the auspices of the Portuguese Tennis Federation, which brings added value in terms of competition and organisation.

This tournament will also count towards the sport's world ranking for the first time in the country, as will the mixed doubles match, which will count towards the world circuit and will also be the first Portuguese competition to count towards the junior ranking.

The sporting event was publicly presented on 6 February at a press conference in the Noble Hall of the Town Hall.

For Jorge Carmo, Vice-President of the Albufeira Municipal Council, holding the tournament directly contributes to "the dissemination of the sport and the promotion of the municipality as a destination of excellence for holding international sporting events".

Entry will be free, and the venue will have a field dedicated to trying out the sport, so that the public can also have direct contact with tennis.
