The National Team Headquarters is a project promoted by the Portuguese Football Federation which involves the construction of a facility that bring together the buildings of the PFF and a Football Technical Centre for internships and work of the national teams.
The project is located in the Jamor National Sports Complex, west of the National Stadium.
Our competition winner proposal was designed as "a workplace and retreat where the main values to be sheltered are the serenity and functionality of spaces. A place for focusing where players, coaches, managers and employees intensely prepare demanding missions. The architecture defines the place of this labor and therefore must be sober, resilient, easy to use and understandable."
