Reinaldo Teixeira: “The League doesn’t meddle where it shouldn’t” | OneFootball

Reinaldo Teixeira clarified that the League was not excluded from the meeting between Pedro Proença and the presidents of the four biggest clubs in Portuguese football. The official stated that the clubs had informed him beforehand and that the session was only intended to discuss matters that had already been addressed during the campaign for the FPF presidency.

“The League was not left out, it knows very well what its role is. As president of the League, I represent all the presidents of the sports companies. I was informed by the clubs that they were going to schedule a meeting, before they scheduled it. They simply told me they were going to talk to the president of the FPF about promises that were made and dialogues that took place throughout the campaign for the FPF. So, the issues were dealt with. The League does not interfere in matters where it does not need to interfere and respects professional football. We do not meddle in anyone’s business, nor do we accept anyone meddling in ours. This house represents the 33 sports companies,” he stated.

Teixeira also announced the summit of presidents scheduled for December 4, describing it as a routine semiannual meeting and part of the normal course of business.

“The meeting on December 4 is a natural meeting, it was already scheduled, that is, we have semiannual meetings, called the presidents’ summits, and we will handle this meeting just as we are handling this one now and others that will follow. I wouldn’t call it a review of the seven months of presidency, but it is, let’s say, a conversation about the topics we have on the table. This is nothing new for the universe, information about our seven-month journey, seven months as president, but I’ve been here for 30 years,” he added.
