FC Porto may seek injunction over postponed Arouca clash | OneFootball

The dispute surrounding the match between Arouca and FC Porto may be prolonged. The board of the Porto club is considering, in the coming days, filing an injunction to prevent the League’s decision to postpone the match from the 7th round, which was initially scheduled for September 28 and rescheduled for the 29th, Sportinforma has learned from a source within the club.

The legal department of the “blue and whites” is assessing the admissibility of this measure, after the club strongly criticized, in a statement, the decision that it considers detrimental to the competitive calendar of Francesco Farioli’s team.

The protest is related to the heavy match schedule: after facing Salzburg this Thursday, FC Porto’s team will travel to Arouca on September 29, host Red Star on October 2, and, on October 5, face Benfica at the Dragão.

The calendar change resulted from a decision by the Arouca City Council and Civil Protection, who determined that the safety conditions were not met to hold the match at the same time as the Harvest Festival, an event taking place in the town over the weekend. FC Porto even proposed holding the match in another stadium, but, without an agreement between the clubs, the League opted for the postponement.
