The Association of Portuguese-speaking Olympic Committees (ACOLOP) celebrated its 20th anniversary on 8 June 2024 with the Open Talk "Achievements and challenges: 20 years of ACOLOP", at the end of the day at the Panorama space in Praia, Cape Verde.
The event brought together human resources planning expert Pedro Castaño, ACOLOP president Filomena Fortes and sports journalist Marcos "Xuster" Fonseca, moderated by Leonardo Cunha, ACOLOP's Executive Director.
The Open Talk was attended by the participants of the 3rd edition of the Sport Accelerator Lab, some illustrious figures from the Olympic movement, such as sports activist Orlando Mascarenhas, and ACOLOP vice-presidents João Costa Alegre and Sérgio Mané, as well as the president of the Equatorial Guinea Olympic Committee, Alejandro Martin Owono.
