Welcome
We would like to welcome you to Canoe Portugal , where you can get all the information not only about the past canoe events but also the upcoming ones which are going to take place in Portugal.
With a wide range of disciplines and international events in the past, Portugal is one of the most important organizers of this kind of sport both in the present and future.
Mostly known by the recent success and the huge canoe sprint organizations, Portugal and the Portuguese Canoe Federation have also managed, since the 80`s, other big events in disciplines such as Canoe Marathon, Canoe Polo and some more recent ones, Canoe Ocean Racing.

A NEW SPECTACULAR SPORT HAS BORN INSIDE CANOEING SOME YEARS AGO, AND PORTUGAL IS ONE OF THE MAIN ORGANIZERS AND PROMOTERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL EVENTS WITHIN THIS DISCIPLINE.

KAYAK POLO
Portugal hosted back in the 90`s the world championships in Aveiro in a very special moment for the Portuguese Canoeing for the good and bad reasons. Years later, in 2019 we wanted to change those memories and presented a very successful and sustain event as we hosted the best European Championships ever in Coimbra. For the future we want to host the world championships
