In the men's sector, Rui Cansado and Tiago Pinheiro lead the national representation in the individual category, while Nádia Almeida takes the spotlight for the women. In mixed pairs, Portugal presents two competitive combinations: Manuel Resende and Matilde Cymbron, as well as the duo formed by Tiago Pinheiro and Nádia Almeida, athletes with international experience and the ambition to reach the finals.

The competition is divided into several categories: 20 gymnasts in individual men's, 29 in individual women's, 17 mixed pairs, 15 trios, and 10 groups, numbers that confirm the high competitive level expected for this inaugural stage of the world circuit. The competitive programme begins on Friday with the opening ceremony, followed by the mixed pairs qualifications. On Saturday, the remaining qualifications in the various categories will take place, with Sunday reserved for the finals, where the first medals of the international season will be awarded.
