From 2022, the Cabo Verdean Olympic Committee will hold the presidency of ACOLOP through its president, Filomena Fortes, accompanied by the committees of São Tomé and Príncipe and Guinea-Bissau as vice-presidents, therefore João Costa Alegre and Sérgio Mané, respectively. 

The message of this new presidency is to be closer to its members and to promote the objective of relaunching the Lusophony Games, which had its last edition in Goa in 2014. To this end, the presentation of the specifications by the Executive Committee of ACOLOP is planned for September this year. The competition will have a new model and structure, adapted to the current context and this will be the big news. 

Also on the table is the revision of the ACOLOP's statutes, with the aim of creating a more open and modern organisation. The anniversary will be celebrated in Cabo Verde, on the terrace of the Panorama Hotel,with an open debate on the subject of 'Achievements and challenges: 20 years of ACOLOP'. Participants will include human resources planning specialist Pedro Castaño, ACOLOP President Filomena Fortes and sports journalist Marcos 'Xuster' Fonseca, all moderated by Leonardo Cunha, Executive Director of ACOLOP. 

The event will be streamed directly on the ACOLOP Facebook page for member partners. In Macau, the event will also be celebrated with the exhibition of a documentary about athletes who participated in the previous Lusophony Games and represented Macau in various sports.
