[Saba Sports News] The F1 official has just announced a significant piece of news, confirming that the Portuguese Grand Prix will return to the F1 calendar in 2027/28. This comeback includes a two-year agreement, and the race will still be held at the Algarve International Circuit. The news has generated immediate interest from the public. This return will replace the Dutch Zandvoort circuit, which will be discontinued after 2026. This substitution does not reduce the number of events in the European region, ensuring the stability of F1’s core events in Europe.As a premier global event, F1 boasts a massive international audience. Hosting the event for two consecutive years will allow Portugal to showcase its culture and event hosting capabilities to the world through broadcasts and media coverage. This will not only enhance Portugal’s visibility in the racing world but also attract more international investments and collaboration opportunities, contributing to the overall promotion of the country’s image.I believe this event will further promote the Algarve region as a popular tourist destination. The two years of the Grand Prix will bring significant direct tourist spending and create a large number of temporary jobs, positively impacting local services such as dining and accommodation, as well as the overall employment market.
