Today’s episode (#71) – 2nd December 2022: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – “The volleyball championship cup”.

The story is simple: Técnico was not only the first great volleyball team in Portugal but also the cradle of this sport in mainland Portugal. Brought to Lisbon by Augusto Cavaco, an Azorean who came to study at Técnico and led the volleyball team for many years, this sport has lived through golden decades led by Técnico students. The AEIST team won the first seven national championships in Portugal and participated in 13 championships in the first 21 seasons. The team won the last national championship in the 1967/68 season and it is still today the second team that has won the most titles in Portugal. The volleyball championship cup (1948) is a testimony that leads to the many stories of that period, which lasted from the end of the 1930s to the 1970s. From the willingness to excel to the charisma and recognition of the Técnico volleyball athletes.
