Arouca v FC Porto moved to 28 September due to Harvest Fair festivities | OneFootball

The Portuguese Professional Football League announced this Wednesday the postponement of the Arouca-FC Porto match, which moves from September 28 to September 29.

The change is due to the Harvest Fair taking place in the town of Arouca.

The match, part of the 7th round and initially scheduled for 8:30 p.m. on September 28 (Sunday), has been postponed by 24 hours.

This change will tighten FC Porto’s schedule, as they will now play three matches within a span of seven days.

It should be noted that, as reported by Maisfutebol, the Harvest Fair will take place from September 26 to 28. On September 8, the Arouca City Council met with Civil Protection, the Volunteer Firefighters, the GNR, representatives of both clubs, and the League, warning that, due to the high influx of people in the town, the necessary safety conditions for the match would not be met.

The League also announced another change in the 7th round: the Famalicão-Rio Ave match, initially scheduled for 8:15 p.m., will now take place at 8:30 p.m.
