Porto accuse Varandas of harming national football’s reputation | OneFootball

FC Porto has filed a disciplinary complaint against Frederico Varandas, submitted to the FPF through Pedro Proença, requesting the opening of a case by the Disciplinary Council. The complaint concerns statements made by the Sporting president about refereeing after the match against V. Guimarães on December 23, which the lions won 4-1.

The defense of the blue and whites aimed to protect FC Porto as an institution and also responded to Frederico Varandas’ references to Pinto da Costa and Francesco Farioli.

The blue and whites consider that the statements made by the rival club’s official have harmed the good name of the entities that oversee national football and the credibility of its competitions over the past decades, and, in particular, FC Porto and its former president Pinto da Costa. Frederico Varandas, it should be recalled, spoke of “decades” of “refereeing that was not independent,” also naming Pinto da Costa and Luís Filipe Vieira.
