The Madeira Tennis Association will receive €21,000 for the “7th Madeira Ladies Open International Tournament” project under a programme agreement authorised by the Regional Government.

The 2026 expenditure is covered by the Budget of the Autonomous Region of Madeira. The 2027 expenditure will be included in the corresponding budget proposal. The ordinance also stipulates that the amount allocated for each year may be increased by any balance carried over from the previous year.
The legislation was signed on 1 October 2026 by the Regional Secretary for Tourism, Environment and Culture, António Eduardo de Freitas Jesus, and the Regional Secretary for Finance, Duarte Nuno Nunes de Freitas. It enters into force on the day after its publication.
The Regional Secretariat for Agriculture and Fisheries appointed Brígida Maria de Oliveira Brazão as a specialist adviser and Renata Isabel Pão Rosário as acting head of division. Both appointments take effect from 8 October 2026.
The Regional Government Council approved five public commendations for Madeira athletes and the organisations that supported them, recognising results achieved at international canoeing events. The honours include five bronze medals at the 2026 ICF Ocean Racing World Cup and a European Championship title.
Fabiana Cristela Freitas Fernandes Cardoso and Ana Célia Mendes Sousa Pestana were assigned to the Regional Directorate of School Administration, effective 7 September 2026. Both retain the salary grade they held in their previous positions.
