In Portugal, besides his administrative duties within the Gambozinos and organizing Silver Coast Hat, he's also the treasurer and board member of APUDD and Tournament Director for the National Beach League. Internationally, he has been involved in the organization of some major events, such as:ECBU 2013, WJUC 2014, WUCC 2014, EUCF 2014, WCBU 2015.

On the last 15th of March, Gambozinos travelled, once more, to the spanish region of Salamanca, to play the last league day of the Central League, where they won the 'Spirit-of-the-Game' award.

With many important casualties, Gambozinos played with a very short number of players, in contrast to the spanish teams, which were on their full strength.

Almost with no subs, the portuguese never gave up and fought to exhaustion with dignity, in all the four games played. Despite not being able to win any game on this league day, they had already guaranteed a place in the middle of the table, led by the Madrid team Quijotes & Dulcineas, who won the competition.

Their attitude inside the field earned them, once more, the "Spirit-of-the-Game" award, for the second time this year (and forth in the club history).
