FC Porto staff accused over casuals brawl keep silent in court | OneFootball

Two FC Porto employees — a kit man for the first team and a fitness coach for the under-17s — appeared this Thursday at the Guimarães Court in the case in which they are accused, along with 31 other defendants, of involvement in a brawl at a sporting event, damage, and throwing objects, Jornal de Notícias reported.

During the hearing, both individuals linked to the Porto club remained silent regarding the facts under consideration. The case, attributed by the authorities to the Casual movement, allegedly resulted in the destruction of part of an outdoor terrace in Guimarães and assaults on Vitória fans, during FC Porto’s trip to face the Guimarães side on 18 January this year.

According to the publication, the two defendants with employment ties to the Dragons are Francisco F., 28, and João S., 26. According to the authorities’ version, the group threw stones, bottles, and terrace furniture towards Vitória supporters, injuring a couple and forcing other fans to take refuge inside two commercial establishments.
