The Portuguese premier professional handball league in Portugal is the Liga Portuguesa de Andebol (LPA) and it consists of 12 teams. This league is a closed competition which only accepts new teams by application. This implies that there is no relegation or promotion between the Divisão de Elite, the second tier league.

The Portuguese basketball league (Liga Portuguesa de basquetebol ) is the top basketball league for the men in Portugal. Between the 1965-66 and 1973-74 seasons, the champions of the league were determined by a competition between the Campeonato Metropolitano winners as Portugal’s representatives and the champions of Mozambique and Angola (Portugal’s then colonies). The teams in the basekball league with the most victories in championships are S.L. Benfica , F.C. Portol and Carnide.

Although it is a small country, the sportsmen from the Republic of Moldova show performances almost in every type of sport. The most practiced types of sport in the Republic of Moldova are:

Wrestling – is considered the national sport of the Moldovans. This type of sport is practiced almost by each locality, including by children who try in this way to check their powers when throwing the opponent. The wrestling is a type of fight hand to hand between two or more unarmed individuals who intend to grapple each other. It is kindred with Greco-Roman Wrestling. It is prohibited to hit the fallen opponent and the fight is stopped until the opponent is recovered. In 1968, the Moldovan filmmaker, Anatol Codru, made the film „Wrestling”, where are illustrated the traditions of this sport.

Football – is the king of all sports and it is the most popular including in our country. We have national championship between the clubs, championships of the inferior divisions and championships of juniors. Football is practiced both by boys and girls. Both, the club teams and national teams have played during the time very good games which impressed the football of Europe. Speaking about the performances of the club teams we can say that the best results achieved Zimbru Chisinau, Sheriff Tiraspol and Dacia Chisinau which were qualified in the groups of UEFA Cup and respectively Europa League.

Rugby - is a popular type of sport in Moldova, especially that in the last years the national team achieves more good results. And the European Federation of rugby accepts more often to organize the European championships in the Republic of Moldova. The last ten years brought the highest distinctions. Thus, the Moldovan team is in the list of the best Rugby world teams – 7 (a union of rugby teams from 7 players) and at the European Championship of 2007, Moldova won the bronze medal.

Box - is a type of sport especially appreciated for the performances the sportsmen achieved. In fact the most medals the Republic of Moldova won at the Olympic Games are medals acquired for this type of sport.

In November 2017, our grade 7 students at Heritage were visited by the former Minister of Youth and Sport - Octavian Ticu.

He is a former Minister of Youth and Sport (Feb-May 2013), a historian, writer, politician and boxing champion. He represented Moldova at the Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, US, in 1996, and won other multiple international awards. He is also famous for the daring articles he writes for Radio Free Europe against the corrupt ruling politicians, and is a host/guest at many TV shows about historical and political topics. He is a member of the Commission for the Study of the Communist Dictatorship in Moldova. At present, he is a researcher-coordinator at the Institute of History, Academy of Science of Moldova.

He visited us at an English lesson, and told us how he became a boxer and a historian, at the same time.

This was a memorable and inspiring experience for the Heritage students.
