The possibility was discussed during Manuel Silv\u00e9rio's trip to Johannesburg, which ends today, after a four-day visit to Mozambique. In South Africa, the president held meetings with various officials from the local Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation (SASCOC), including Dave Van Der Merwe, a member of the Executive Committee, and the head of the finance department, Vinesh Maharaj. \"South Africa is a country with a very significant Portuguese community,\" said the president of ACOLOP. \"Since it was established, our Association has established itself as an open organisation that doesn't close in on itself,\" he said. \"Our aim is to one day be able to bring together a large number of Portuguese-speaking communities.\" During a dinner with SASCOC representatives, Dave Van Der Merwe expressed South Africa's willingness to host Macau athletes in the country's training centres. \"South Africa is available to receive your athletes,\" said the member of the Executive Committee of the South African Olympic organisation. For his part, Manuel Silv\u00e9rio, who is also 1st vice-president of the Macau Olympic Committee, invited a group from South Africa to visit the SAR's sports facilities after the heads of mission meeting for the Beijing Olympics, which will take place next August. As Macau is the host city for the 2nd Asian Indoor Games, Manuel Silv\u00e9rio, in his capacity as chairman of the event's Organising Committee, also extended an invitation to the president of SASCOC to attend the multi-sport event taking place in October and November this year. He also wished the South African sports delegation success at the All African Games, which will be held in Algeria from 11 to 23 July. \"South Africa is currently experiencing a development in terms of sport that can be considered exemplary. Since ACOLOP is a three-year-old organisation, the possibility of, on the one hand, having contact with what South Africa is doing in terms of Olympism and, on the other, being able to publicise the projects developed by our Association, are undoubted added value,\" added Manuel Silv\u00e9rio, taking stock of the meetings.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":567,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","neve_meta_reading_time":"","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=566"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":568,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566\/revisions\/568"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acolop.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
