After ticket sale row, Sporting fans could be barred from Jamor | OneFootball

Torreense are living through days of huge intensity in the final stretch of a season that could go down in the club’s history. In addition to their unprecedented place in the Portuguese Cup final against Sporting, scheduled for Sunday at Jamor, the Torres Vedras side also remain focused on the battle for promotion to Liga Portugal Betclic, a competition they last played in back in 1991/92.

The packed schedule forces Luís Tralhão to manage priorities carefully. Before turning his full attention to the Cup final, the coach still has the first leg of the promotion playoff against Casa Pia ahead of him, set for Wednesday. Even so, the mood in Torres Vedras is one of genuine euphoria, reflecting the excitement surrounding the team.

In recent weeks, Torreense have registered an increase of more than two thousand members, a rise driven not only by the team’s sporting moment, but also by demand for tickets to the Jamor final. Among the new members are hundreds of Sporting fans who used that route in an attempt to secure a place at the National Stadium.

With a capacity of close to 37,500 spectators, Jamor is once again proving too small for the demand generated by the Portuguese Cup final, especially with one of Portuguese football’s giants involved. At Alvalade, ticket sales began around a week ago and the criteria adopted by Sporting sparked some controversy, particularly among members with season seats dating back to the inauguration of the new José Alvalade Stadium.

Tight rules are also expected at security level for the match. As in other Portuguese Cup finals, fans are not expected to be allowed into the stands reserved for the opposing club while wearing their own team’s colours or accessories.

As such, Sporting fans who bought tickets through Torreense may be prevented from entering the sections allocated to the blue-and-burgundy side if they are wearing shirts or other Sporting-identifying items. At Jamor, Sporting fans will be seated in the North Stand, while Torreense supporters will occupy the South Stand.
