Sporting elections: Bruno Sá hits out at Varandas, warns of club’s future | OneFootball

Bruno Sá formalized his candidacy for the presidency of Sporting at the Estádio José Alvalade this Thursday, February 12, and targeted Frederico Varandas, his opponent in the Sporting elections, arguing that the Alvalade Club is becoming less and less owned by its Members.

"I don't want to go on for too long, but one of the reasons is the distancing of the members. We are heading towards a Sporting of customers and I strongly defend the members," he said to the media present. Bruno Sá already has names on his list.

The 45-year-old candidate explained his position. "There are a number of examples, like the naming of the gates around the stadium, the fields... I don't want to create controversy here. We make a point of saying that the members own the club, but then they are not listened to," he stated.

Regarding the possibility of bringing the supporter groups closer to the team, Bruno Sá clarified. "We have to think about what is best for the athletes, and if you ask the team captains, they know the answer. What helps the players get closer to victory, but everything must happen within the rules defined by the club," he expressed.

The Sporting elections will take place at the Pavilhão João Rocha, between 09:00 and 20:00, on the upcoming March 14. This decisive schedule was formally announced by the Board of the General Assembly, through the Club's official newspaper.
