O Jogo

O Jogo has also a Lisbon edition.

O Jogo is published in tabloid format. The paper was sold in 1995 to Lusomundo Media subsidiary Jornalinveste, which was later absorbed into Controlinveste in 2005 after Lusomundo Media merged with Olivedesportos, before renaming itself as Global Media Group in 2015.
