The flag was handed over to Setúbal in a ceremony held on Wednesday afternoon in the European Parliament in Brussels in the presence of football coach José Mourinho and former athlete Rosa Mota. Setúbal is the fourth Portuguese city to hoist the flag after Guimarães, in 2013, Maia in 2014, and Loulé this year. The award acknowledges a city’s potential for sport and work towards healthy lifestyles.
