Mira once again asserts itself on the international stage by hosting another edition of the International Pigeon Racing Championships, an event that greatly honours us and results from a strong partnership between the Municipality of Mira, the Federation Columbophile Internacionale and the Federa\u00e7\u00e3o Portuguesa de Columbofilia.<\/p>\n

The presence, within our municipality, of the headquarters of the Federa\u00e7\u00e3o Portuguesa de Columbofilia is a source of great pride and responsibility. This fact has decisively contributed to consolidating Mira as a national and international reference in this sport, attracting throughout the year hundreds of visitors, athletes and pigeon racing enthusiasts from different geographies.<\/p>\n

These Championships are more than a sporting competition. They are a moment of encounter between cultures, of sharing experiences and of affirming values such as dedication, perseverance and community spirit. They also represent a strategic opportunity to showcase the very best that Mira has to offer \u2014 the hospitality of its people, the quality of its infrastructure and the uniqueness of its territory.<\/p>\n

We therefore renew our commitment to continue supporting initiatives that project the name of Mira beyond borders and that strengthen the dynamism of our municipality.<\/p>\n

To all participants, organisations and visitors, I extend a word of appreciation and my best wishes for every success.<\/p>\n

You are most welcome to Mira.<\/p>\n
