About
Portugal is a European country currently facing multiple significant events. Recently, Storm Kristin caused widespread damage, including flooding and landslides, resulting in at least five deaths and prompting the government to declare it an "extreme climactic event." In sports, Portugal is set to co-host the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Morocco, though the location of the final game is still under discussion. Benfica, a Portuguese football club, is also preparing for a high-profile UEFA Champions League match against Real Madrid. Furthermore, Portugal is actively combating drug trafficking, with police seizing record amounts of cocaine, including a significant haul from a "narco-sub" off the Azores. These events highlight Portugal's vulnerability to extreme weather, its role in international sporting events, and its efforts to combat organized crime.
