Benfica’s annual report sparks debate at the general assembly | OneFootball

The Benfica members voted to reject the Report and Accounts presented by Rui Costa's Board, at the Benfica General Assembly - which was marked by some confrontations. On an important day for the democratic life of the Clube da Luz, the fans seemed to position themselves against the current President of the eagles.

According to information coming from the Benfica General Assembly, 63.49 percent of the members present voted to reject the Report and Accounts presented by Rui Costa's Board. Conversely, only 36.51 percent of the members voted for the document to be approved.

Despite the bad news, which also demonstrates the number of fans against Rui Costa's Board, the truth is that this rejection has no practical consequences for the current Benfica leaders. However, it remains an important symbolic moment less than a month before the elections.

It should be remembered that, after the vote on the Report and Accounts, the electoral regulations will still be voted on, at the Benfica General Assembly. The members present at the Club's General Assembly will thus have another opportunity to express their opinion.

One who will no longer do so is Luís Filipe Vieira. The former President of Benfica was present at the General Assembly but ended up leaving the venue, and will not be present in the afternoon - this decision followed after seeing a request for a change in the MAG ignored, thus considering that his presence would not be worthwhile at one of the high points of the Club's democratic life.
