It is currently one of the most representative LGBTQIA+ sports associations in Portugal, with around 200 members who practice various sports, including Rugby, Volleyball, Swimming, Football, Running and Tango.

The Association has won several national and international titles, making history for Portugal by winning 11 medals at the Gay Games, in the swimming, running and tennis categories, held in Paris, and by winning the 2018 Bingham Cup in the rugby category, in Amsterdam.
