After stunning Benfica in the Super Cup, Torreense find a new ‘home’ | OneFootball

Last Sunday, the women's team of Torreense made history again by defeating Benfica 2-1, thus winning the club's first ever Super Cup. Today, the emblem of the West revealed that the squad will now play their home matches at the National Stadium, in Jamor.

In the announcement made by the club's board of directors, the main reason behind this decision lies in the condition and capacity of the Manuel Marques Stadium turf, the stronghold of the men's and women's teams of Torreense. As it was found, the officials do not believe that the grass can withstand so many official matches this season.

In a statement published on the club's official platforms, the officials explain the reasons for the decision made regarding women's football: "Due to the fact that the turf of the Manuel Marques Stadium is not in a condition to host a high number of professional games this season, the senior women's football team will play their matches at the National Stadium, in Oeiras."

Already in May of this year, after winning the Portuguese Cup, the club spoke about infrastructure improvements: "As we know, true commitment is seen in the small (big) gestures of everyday life, in the will to solve, in the ability to act and in the focus on evolving. More than a public thank you, what truly elevates the level of a sports community is joint, continuous and consequential work."

"The infrastructures that we helped to improve, under the guidance of CM Torres Vedras, still do not have the minimum conditions for the competitive level we have already achieved. In fact, they were recently even failed in a League inspection," wrote the board of the West emblem.
