==City of Football== On 31 March 2016, the Portuguese Football Federation inaugurated the City of Football, a sports complex that acts as the national teams' training center.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cmjornal.xl.pt/desporto/futebol/detalhe/selecoes.html |title=The city of football was born |access-date=2016-03-31 |publisher=www.cmjornal.xl.pt |archive-date=11 May 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160511072108/http://www.cmjornal.xl.pt/desporto/futebol/detalhe/selecoes.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The sports complex featured the President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa in the inauguration and was built without financial support from the state. The City of Football took 17 months to build and comprised a budget of 15 million euros.

The new home of the Portuguese Football Federation is located at Avenida das Seleções in Oeiras, 1495-433 Cruz Quebrada - Dafundo, and debuted with an under-15 tournament the day after opening. The space has three and a half courts, 2 gyms, 11 changing rooms.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://observer.pt/2016/03/31/visita-nova-city-of-football/ |title=A visit to the new City of Football |access-date=31 March 2016 |publisher=Observer}} {{Dead link|date=September 2019}}</ref>

==Kit supplier== In November 2024, the Portuguese Football Federation signed a kit agreement with PUMA that will supply kits and equipment for all male, female and youth football squads as well as futsal, beach football and E-Sports teams. This deal eventually ends the partnership with Nike, who had been the official kit supplier for the federation for 27 years since 1997. The multi-year agreement with PUMA will commence in 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-11-27 |title=New kits for Cristiano Ronaldo & Co.!
