This will be Portuguese racer Miguel Oliveira’s farewell to MotoGP

The MotoGP Portuguese Grand Prix, taking place from November 7 to 9 at the Algarve International Racetrack, is expected to attract around 170,000 motorsports enthusiasts for the penultimate round of the MotoGP World Championship in Portimão.

In a statement to the Lusa news agency, the director of the Algarve International Racetrack (AIA), Jaime Costa, said that tickets “are selling at a good pace”, estimating that the number of spectators will reach “170,000, similar to what happened in 2024”.

“We are in line with last year, but the last few days are always strong in ticket sales. As they say, you only know for sure at the end, but our expectation is that the figures will be very similar to last year’s,” he noted.

Marking the farewell of Portuguese rider Miguel Oliveira from the category, who will move to the Superbike World Championship next year, the event is expected to attract even more spectators to mark the occasion.

This year, the competition will also offer plenty of entertainment, with an extended area dedicated to motorcycling fans, catering facilities, shows and stands representing brands linked to motorsports.

For Jaime Costa, the visibility that these competitions bring to Portimão and the region “continues to be an asset for the circuit, the region and the country”, consolidating the Algarve as a global reference in motor sports.

To ease access to the racetrack, the organisers are providing car parks and free transport for ticket holders, with dozens of buses running between the circuit and Portimão, Lagos and Figueira, from 8am to 6.30pm.
