The main items listed in his program are:
–    Consolidate the development of Portuguese volleyball generating a new Olympic cycle that will culminate in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games;
–    Consolidate volleyball as an attractive product for media and economic agents;
–    Consolidate the development and expansion of the programs Gira-Volei and Gira +
–    Continue supporting the clubs activity and regional associations;
–    Work more closely with the national teams, with special attention to the women’s sector;
–    Reinforce institutional relations with other sports institutions.

“These are our purposes, our ambition and our determination. Continue to innovate and make things happen, with the objective of serving the interest of our sport” said the FPV President. “We need a policy committed to improve the value of sports to the country’s affirmation, which will inspire future generations” he added.
