In Portugal you are Portuguese if your Parents are Portuguese and might also get it from grandparents (some rules might apply here for the grandparents case), if you are born in Portugal from non Portuguese parents you are not Portuguese, we have the Jus Sanguinis system.
You can however pretend to be Portuguese after living several years in the country (those years might vary depending on some factors I think).
We do have at least one canoe athlete qualified that was born in France and lived in France with a Portuguese parent...
sorry about the off-topic
ExpandAre the Portuguese athletes Brazilian competing for Portugal?
No...
But Sequeira is half british from her mother side.
And they would need to be Portuguese in order to compete for Portugal...
