Estoril Praia is a club that is setting an example of healthy coexistence between Estoril SAD and Grupo Desportivo Estoril Praia. Rui Paulo Costa, the club's leader, ensures that the understanding is absolute and that the results are starting to appear. Estoril Praia is a unified club, with SAD and the club working together for success. The club's senior team, which competes in the 1st Division of AF Lisboa, is built to reach the professional level. Rui Paulo Costa rejects the idea that his Estoril's senior team could be a C team for Estoril SAD, but considers that pointing his players to a continuation in the professional structure is a strategy. Improving the bench at the training center was a priority for the club, with the replacement of chairs and painting of the bench. Rui Paulo Costa defends that the club can and should be seen as an important step for future values for professional management. The club is working to maintain close ties with professional management. The club's senior team is being restructured, with the players' age being reduced to give more opportunities to young players. The goal is for players to reach the sub-23 and later the professional team. Rui Paulo Costa is proud of the work being done and believes that the club is on the right path to success.
