Portuguesa seeks the support of its fans for the match against Velo Clube, valid for the third round of the Campeonato Paulista, this Saturday. Coach Fábio Matias emphasized the importance of having a packed Canindé to positively influence the team's performance and called on fans to attend the match.

“This game is very important for us. Playing at Canindé with the stands full changes the atmosphere, as we saw in the first match. The fans push the team forward and it makes a difference for those coming from outside. We want the supporters with us from the very first minute,” said the coach.
Lusa is still searching for its first victory in the state tournament. In the first two rounds, Portuguesa was defeated by Palmeiras in the opener, and last Tuesday, suffered another setback against Capivariano.
It’s worth noting that, for the match against Velo Clube, Lusa has resumed the “Portuguesa Para Todos” project. The club will make four thousand free tickets available to members of the “free” plan, which is free of charge.
