Portaria No. 627/2026 authorises 3,000 euros for the 7th International Squash Tournament, split between 2026 and 2027, through a Programme Contract with the Madeira Tennis Association.
The Regional Government authorised the distribution of budgetary commitments of a Programme Contract with the Madeira Tennis Association for the holding of the 3rd International Squash Tournament of Madeira, in a total amount of 5,000.00 € (five thousand euros). The authorisation is contained in Portaria No. 627/2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Autonomous Region of Madeira (JORAM) on 3 November 2026, and divides the sum between 2026 and 2027.
The portaria does not create a new subsidy in itself. It authorises the expenditure resulting from the signing of a Programme Contract, that is, a written agreement between the Region and an entity to finance a specific project. In this case, the project is the 7th International Squash Tournament of Madeira, and the beneficiary entity is the Madeira Tennis Association.
The 2026 expenditure is allocated to Secretariat 43, Chapter 50, Project 50975 of the regional budget, meaning that it is planned and reserved for that year. The 2027 amount will be included in the Region's budget proposal for that year. The portaria further provides that the amount set for each year may be increased by the balance recorded in the previous year, but does not indicate what that balance would be.
A portaria is a government decree, in this case signed by two regional secretaries: António Eduardo de Freitas Jesus, Regional Secretary for Tourism, Environment and Culture, and Duarte Nuno Nunes de Freitas, Regional Secretary for Finance. To this end, it relies on the financial regime set out in Decree-Law No. 155/92, Law No. 8/2012, Regional Legislative Decree No. 8/2025/M and Regional Regulatory Decree No. 12/2026/M. The portaria enters into force on the day after its publication and was signed on 26 October 2026.
The document does not indicate the dates of the tournament nor the details of the contract signed with the association.
