The Government of Pará, through Seel, supports the event by providing assistance to athletes and professionals responsible for conducting the activities
The Government of Pará, through the State Secretariat of Sports and Leisure (Seel), is holding another edition of Functional Training this Wednesday (8), starting at 7:30 PM, at the Olympic Stadium of Pará Journalist Edgar Proença (Mangueirão), in partnership with the group Tropa dos Corres Fofo. The event is open to the public and is expected to gather over a thousand participants for a night celebrating sports, health, and integration.
The activity will last for two hours, with guidance from Physical Education professionals, ensuring safety, encouragement, and proper monitoring for people of various ages and fitness levels.
The Secretary of State for Sports and Leisure, Cássio Andrade, emphasized that actions like this reinforce the commitment of the Government of Pará to democratize access to sports and encourage healthy habits. “Mangueirão is a symbol of Pará's sports, and it should always be open to the public. This functional training is another initiative from the state government that encourages physical activity, socialization, and health care. It is very gratifying to see so many people coming together to exercise and enjoy Mangueirão in a healthy and fun way,” highlighted Cássio Andrade.
Government Support - The Functional Training is part of a project initiated in February of this year, which includes regular meetings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 8 PM to 10 PM, in the parking lot of Mangueirão. The action is supported by the Government of Pará, through Seel, which provides assistance to athletes and professionals responsible for conducting the activities.
In this edition, the training will be held for the first time inside the stadium, providing a unique experience for participants, who will be able to exercise in one of the largest and most symbolic sports spaces in Northern Brazil.
Inspiration - Tropa dos Corres Fofo is a social sports project created in February 2025, by about 15 friends who passed the contests for the Military Police and the Military Fire Brigade, who started gathering to practice street running and maintain their friendship bonds.
The group grew rapidly, and today it gathers more than 800 people per training session at Mangueirão, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in addition to about 400 participants at Aldeia Cabana, in the Pedreira neighborhood, during Wednesday meetings, starting at 7 PM.
With the growth of activities, the project already impacts more than 3,000 people, including athletes, family members, and community members, promoting health, social integration, and encouraging sports practice in the Metropolitan Region of Belém.
