Dugout will publish content for all Portugal’s national teams, including the men’s senior team, women’s senior team, under-20, under-21 and youth teams, as well as beach soccer and futsal teams.
Fans will be able to follow the teams behind the scenes through training, friendlies and major tournaments.
