Reinaldo Teixeira shrugs off FC Porto criticism: “All by the book” | OneFootball

Reinaldo Teixeira rejected FC Porto’s criticism and assured that the League’s handling of the process involving Sporting was carried out in full compliance with the regulations.

The League president stressed that there was no preferential treatment and argued that decisions are made based on the technical assessment of each department. “The match with Arouca was clarified. Now it is the same. Our interpretations are based on the views of the technicians in each area, in accordance with the regulations. Naturally, each club may have its own opinion, but it is up to the League to interpret the regulations and decide,” he said.

The controversy arose after FC Porto’s complaints about an alleged benefit granted to Sporting in the regulatory framework of a match with Tondela. Reinaldo Teixeira had already dismissed the idea of bias, assuring that the League does not adopt any permissive or differentiated stance depending on the club involved.

According to the position defended by the body, the framing of the case was based on the application of the regulatory rules regarding the competitive calendar and the minimum interval between matches. The scheduling of the match should be dealt with in the proper forum by the Match Scheduling Committee.

The issue continues to generate objections from FC Porto, but the League maintains its interpretation that the entire process was conducted in accordance with the rules in force.
