After ticket sale row, Sporting fans may be barred from Jamor | OneFootball

Torreense are living through days of huge intensity in the final stretch of a season that could go down in the club’s history. In addition to their unprecedented presence in the Portuguese Cup final against Sporting, scheduled for Sunday at Jamor, the Torres Vedras side remain focused on the fight for promotion to Liga Portugal Betclic, a competition they last took part in back in 1991/92.

The packed schedule is forcing Luís Tralhão to manage priorities carefully. Before turning his full attention to the Cup final, the coach still has the first leg of the promotion playoff against Casa Pia ahead of him, scheduled for Wednesday. Even so, the atmosphere in Torres Vedras is one of genuine euphoria, reflecting the excitement surrounding the team.

In recent weeks, Torreense have recorded an increase of more than two thousand members, growth driven not only by the team’s sporting moment but also by the demand for tickets to the Jamor final. Among the new members are hundreds of Sporting fans who used that route in an attempt to secure a place at the National Stadium.

With a capacity of close to 37,500 spectators, Jamor once again is proving too small for the demand generated by the Portuguese Cup final, especially with one of the giants of Portuguese football involved. At Alvalade, ticket sales began about a week ago and the criteria adopted by Sporting sparked some controversy, particularly among Members with season seats since the inauguration of the new Estádio José Alvalade.

Tight rules are also expected on the security front for the match. As in other Portuguese Cup finals, fans are not expected to be allowed into the stands reserved for the opposing club while wearing their own team’s merchandise.

Therefore, Sporting fans who bought tickets through Torreense may be prevented from accessing the sectors intended for the blue-and-garnet side if they are wearing shirts or other items identifying them as Sporting supporters. At Jamor, Sporting fans will be seated in the North Stand, while Torreense fans will occupy the South Stand.
