Inquiry launched after FC Porto complaint against Fábio Veríssimo | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation has launched an inquiry based on the “assessment of the disciplinary relevance of facts reported by FC Porto – Futebol SAD,” following a complaint filed by the Dragons against referee Fábio Veríssimo.

“The case was sent, on November 29, 2025, to the League of Portugal’s Instructors Committee, with publicity excluded until the end of the investigation,” the statement reads.

It should be recalled that FC Porto accused Fábio Veríssimo of having threatened club officials with expulsions in Arouca, on September 29, after a 4-0 victory in the seventh round of the Primeira Liga, and of carrying out “the threats and other forms of intimidation” during the home match against Sporting de Braga, in the 10th round of the Primeira Liga.

This reaction from FC Porto came after an alleged attempt to coerce the refereeing team by the Porto side, as described in Fábio Veríssimo’s report on the match between FC Porto and Sporting de Braga, which the “Dragons” won 2-1.

According to the referee’s own account, during halftime of the 10th round match of the Primeira Liga, he encountered a television repeatedly showing, without the possibility of being turned off, some incidents from the first half.
