The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), led by Pedro Proença, determined, along with the leaders of the four main emblems of Portuguese football, the need to adopt stringent criteria for the distribution of sports betting revenues.
Rui Costa, André Villas-Boas, Frederico Varandas - who was criticized by a Porto fan - and António Salvador were in the City of Football in Oeiras this Friday morning with Pedro Proença, where they discussed the current state of Portuguese football. The funding model of national football was also a topic on the table.
The present leaders analyzed the current distribution mechanisms and evaluated possible changes that could strengthen the financial sustainability of the sector. Besides this issue, the meeting had a special focus on the challenges faced by professional competitions and the needs for structural modernization.
The FPF emphasized that it will continue to work with the clubs in search of consensual solutions capable of strengthening the national competitive landscape, making it clear that this type of meeting is part of an ongoing process to improve the organization and sustainability of the sport.
The meeting, which brought together for the first time in this cycle the leaders of the four most influential emblems in the country, marks another step in institutional dialogue at a time when Portuguese football is undergoing intense debates on economic sustainability, refereeing, and competition rights.
