Boos at Lobo Antunes tribute cost FC Porto over €6,000 in fines | OneFootball

FC Porto was fined 9,968 euros by the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation following several incidents that occurred during the classic match against Benfica at Estádio da Luz. The sanctions were imposed based on the behavior of Porto supporters as reported by the referee, the League delegate, and the security forces.

The first fine, amounting to 1,910 euros, concerns the use of pyrotechnics in the away section at Luz, where a firecracker and a flashlight were set off in the ZCEAP. These acts constitute a disciplinary offense and are aggravated by the club’s repeat offenses.

The highest penalty, of 6,375 euros, was imposed for behaviors considered to be serious threats to public order. Among the recorded incidents were whistles during the minute of silence in tribute to António Lobo Antunes, offensive and discriminatory chants, and the display of unauthorized banners, including messages such as “Death to the Moors,” in sections occupied by Porto supporters. The club’s repeat offenses again weighed on the decision.

Finally, a fine of 1,683 euros was imposed due to insulting chants directed at the rival and several incidents in the security check area, where pyrotechnic materials were seized and altercations between supporters and stadium staff were recorded.
