FC Porto is currently meeting with the Arbitration Council of the FPF, in a hearing requested by the club following the incident involving referee Fábio Veríssimo during the match against Braga.

André Villas-Boas, president of FC Porto, was in the room for about thirty minutes, during which he reiterated the arguments already presented by the club in a recent statement, and then left the meeting, which continued with Luciano Gonçalves, the leader of the organization.

Representing the Dragons are Tiago Madureira, vice-president of FC Porto, and Bertino Miranda, the club's advisor on arbitration matters and the laws of the game.

It should be noted that recently, FC Porto argued that “there are still serious problems in arbitration in Portugal, such as the duality of criteria, the lack of uniformity in decisions, and the permanent conditioning of refereeing.”
