“Football without Borders” as part of Europa Viva, a program that is one of the latest CMTVwent to Scandinavia, more precisely to Sweden, to get married in football to one of the members of the Union 27: and there he found the perfect ingredient for this, Thomas Pereira, performance analyst for local teams.
A resident of Stockholm since 2022, in the capital of the aforementioned country he found the perfect place in Vincu to do what he loves. “I have been working in the Swedish federation for two years and my role is mainly to analyze the opponents, our own teams and also certain details that can be important for all teams,” said the former football player who took his first steps. in Palmelense, emblem of the Setubal district, before trying his adventure… in Norway, between Melbo, IL and Snaroja, UK, accumulating from 2010 to 2017 off-field functions such as the scouting adventure from Sporting. Then it was time to pack his bags again and move with his family permanently to the cold northern region, where he would live for another 10 years: “I am happy here and I have had several opportunities with national teams. Last April my colleague became pregnant and I was ‘pushed’ to the European Women’s Championships, since then I have been accumulating roles between the men’s and women’s teams, in the junior U19 teams.”
What would Thomas say to a Portuguese who has no idea what life is like in Stockholm? Well, before we give you the floor, let us remind you that this is a city where it is constantly cold in winter, and in summer the sun… never sets. “People are distant, that is, they go to work, and when it ends, they go to their lives, home. Luckily, I have a lot of friends here and we usually get together. Stockholm has a huge offer and that’s why we have many opportunities to enjoy the city. I think I’ll be working here for a lot longer, probably within the next 10 years!”
Monarchy and… King Győkeres
A constitutional monarchy governed by parliament and a prime minister, Sweden is huge in area – more than 400 thousand square kilometers – but its geographical location does not allow for large population concentrations. That is why it has a population identical to that of Portugal (10.5 million citizens) and elects the same 21 members of the European Parliament, the new vacancy of which will be determined on the 9th at the European Championships.
When we talk about Sweden, we also talk about Gyöckeres, Sporting’s top scorer, who is praised by Thomas Pereira: “He generates great expectations here with the goals he scores and the ones he scores!”
Neutrality before… the war
The third largest country in the European Union (it joined in 1995) and the seventh with the best quality of life has always declared itself a neutral state in the face of any war, but its geographical proximity to Russia, the conflict with Ukraine, ended in Stockholm, where our team prepared all this report, is the capital of a Scandinavian country where winter is cold and the sun in summer… never sets!
