The event will open its doors at 5 pm, and the competition itself is scheduled to start at 6.30 pm. The national final, which is free for the public to enjoy, will be evaluated by the trio: B-boys’ Found Kid and Ronnie, and B-Girl Valentine. The national winners will then represent Portugal in the ‘Red Bull BC One' world final on 7 December 2024, at the Jeunesse Areba in Rio de Janeiro.


The national final will bring together the participants from the qualifying round held in Lisbon last month, together with a list of wildcards with credits signed in breaking.

Together with the wildcards – eight B-Boys and three B-Girls - the 24 participants will fight for the one B-Boy spot and the one B-Girl spot.

Ronnie’s workshop will take place at 3 pm, and Found Kid’s workshop at 4 pm. On 13 April, Max Oliveira will be the event’s host and the background music will be provided by DJ Godzi.

‘Red Bull BC One’ has served as the premier worldwide platform for breaking, a unique type of urban dance, for the past 20 years. In last year’s competition, B-Boy Found Kid (Maia) and B-Girl Valéria (Aveiro) took home the desired trophies from the national ‘Red Bull BC One’ competition, whilst B-Girl Ami from Japan and B-Boy Hong10 from South Korea won the world titles.
