Almada in 2017 and Pinhel in 2018 and 2019 were the stage of this event, held for the first time in an autonomous manner , which in both cases had the indispensable support of local authorities.
"I had the privilege of being able to share a fantastic experience at Meet The World with Professor Armando Lopes, a person who captivates by the enthusiasm, the organization, the rigor and the dedication he puts in the performance of his duties. Always with the concern that everyone we feel good and so that we had a unique experience. A good thing and that we can count on more people like the Professor who seeks to contribute to the development of a more positive and more quality women's football. "

"Meet the World is the local phase of SKF's main social action in the world. The participation of Armando Lopes, as sports director, in all these years was fundamental for the execution of the tournament in Portugal. I am not speaking only for the organization of the event, but also for the executive part and the ability to look for partners and solutions within the given briefing. It is worth highlighting the relationship with the athletes and the educational character that Armando carries from his pedagogical experience. "
