Miguel Oliveira's appearance

The autograph session marks the rider's return to the AIA, one year after bidding farewell to MotoGP at the 2025 Portuguese Grand Prix.

The AIA is already a familiar venue for Miguel Oliveira, where he made his MotoGP debut in 2020 and became the “first Portuguese rider to win a race in the category on home soil”. He currently competes “in the World Superbike Championship (WorldSBK) for the ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team”, having returned to racing in Portimão in 2026 and secured three third-place finishes.

Jaime Costa, CEO of the Algarve International Circuit, said that “Miguel Oliveira is part of the history of this circuit and MotoGP in Portugal. Having Miguel with us at this Grand Prix is a way of celebrating our connection with Portuguese fans, who have always supported him and made Portimão one of the most vibrant races on the calendar”.

The AIA is located in Portugal and is “the country's leading motorsport circuit and one of the most modern and challenging in Europe”.

The circuit opened in 2008 and is currently managed by Parkalgar. It features a 4.653-kilometre track with 15 corners, as well as an extensive complex comprising a “karting track, off-road track, technology park and tourist resort”.

This year, the circuit will host the MotoGP Repsol Portuguese Grand Prix from 20 to 22 November, with support from partners including “Turismo de Portugal, Turismo do Algarve, Portimão Municipality and the Portuguese Motorcycling Federation, in coordination with IPDJ”.
