Gestão do Desporto na Cidade de Coimbra: Estágio Profissionalizante realizado na Câmara Municipal de Coimbra e na Associação Académica de Coimbra - OAF

Abstract

This report was prepared as part of the joint professional internship carried out at the Sport and Youth Division of the Coimbra City Council and in the Youth Football Department of the Associação Académica de Coimbra - Organismo Autónomo de Futebol. This internship aimed to obtain a Master's Degree in Sports Management, by the Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto. This experience provided me the opportunity to comprehend how both entities work and their value for the enhancement of sport in Coimbra. Throughout the year, there were many tasks developed, manly in sports events and facilities management. This document is structured in seven chapters, the first corresponding to the introduction. Then, a general characterization is made with motivations, plans and objectives of the internships. The third chapter corresponds to the theoretical framework, where the literature review related to the tasks developed during the internship is made, followed by the characterization of the city of Coimbra and the two entities. The following chapter corresponds to the part of the internship itself, with a detailed description of the tasks developed, as well as the interview on the impact of COVID-19 and the return to sporting activities in the municipality of Coimbra. The last chapters include a critical reflection and the skills acquired during the internship, followed by the final considerations and prospects for the future. This experience was enriching as it allowed to me acquire and expand my knowledge and develop new skills in the area of sport management.
