Sports Integrity, & Courage | The Lisbon Man Leading The Way | Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros

In this episode of People Of Lisbon, we spend time with Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros - a global leader in the world of sports integrity, governance and ethics.Born on the island of São Miguel in the Azores during a time of dictatorship, Emanuel’s journey has taken him from the middle of the Atlantic to the frontlines of international sport, where he now works to protect the integrity of the games billions of people love.From major European debates and high-level assemblies to deeply personal reflections on fatherhood, leadership and responsibility, this film explores the mind of a man who believes sport can still be a force for unity, hope and meaning in a divided world.Along the way, Emanuel speaks candidly about corruption, organised crime, courage, conviction and the price of standing up for what you believe in.“Without integrity, sport is not sport.”This is a story about leadership, conscience and purpose - set against the backdrop of Lisbon.  / emanuelmacedodemedeiros    / sigalliance  Please support the partners who help make People Of Lisbon possible:United Medical Clinic LisbonFast and easy access to medical care for expats, tourists & localshttps://lisbon.umc.clinic/MoviinnMoving abroad made simplehttps://www.moviinn.comPractice PortugueseLearn Portuguese from Portugal — as it's spoken in Lisbon, Porto, Algarve and across the countryhttps://www.practiceportuguese.comJoin Club People Of LisbonBecome part of our community and support the project:https://www.peopleoflisbon.comVideo by Stephen O'Regan Photographer Rita Ansone
