The 2009 Lusophone Games took place in Portugal from July 11 through July 19. These games are for the Portuguese-speaking National Olympic Committees of the world, and this is the second staging of the games. The first Lusophone Games took place in 2006 in Macau, China, a former Portuguese colony. The 2009 games are being held in Lisbon and surrounding communities, with nine sports and 70 events being contested. 12 nations and territories competed at the games, including Portugal, Brazil, Macau, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Angola, India, Sri Lanka, Guinea Bissau, East Timor and Sao Tome & Principe. The games provide an opportunity for athletes in smaller countries to compete on the world stage and in a major setting that Lisbon provides.
