Is the word partida the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

No.

While the core meanings of the word "partida" (departure, match, or starting point) are identical in both dialects, there is a significant difference in typical usage. In Brazil, "partida" is rarely used to refer to football (soccer) matches; instead, the word "jogo" is the standard, and "partida" is reserved for more formal contexts or specific sports like tennis. In Portugal, "partida" is a much more natural and frequent way to refer to matches in a wide variety of sports, including football. Additionally, the spelling of related words (such as tênis vs. ténis) and the vocabulary for surrounding objects (such as ônibus vs. autocarro) differ.
