The Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation has imposed a penalty on Chiquinho, winger of Alverca and former target of Sporting, following an incident that occurred in the seventh round of the Primeira Liga, against Vitória de Guimarães, played on September 28, 2025.
In a statement released this Monday, the professional section of the DC announced the suspension of the player for one game, accompanied by a fine of 204 euros. The decision comes more than three months after the match, in which Alverca won 2-0, in a process that involved several disciplinary sanctions.
According to the report, Chiquinho used threatening expressions or gestures in the locker room area of the Ribatejo stadium, directed at Nélson Oliveira, forward of Vitória de Guimarães, and Leonel Olímpio, assistant coach of the Minho team. The Alverca player was not even on the match sheet.
The disciplinary process also involved other parties. Nélson Oliveira was fined 286 euros for failure to observe other duties, while Leonel Olímpio received a harsher penalty, with a 45-day suspension and a fine of 1,070 euros, due to aggression.
This season, wearing the Alverca jersey, Chiquinho - valued at two million euros - has only played five matches for the Ribatejo team. In the 353 minutes he was on the pitch, the winger has scored one goal.
