Disciplinary board partially drops inquiry into 17 injured in the derby | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation partially archived, unanimously, the inquiry related to the incidents that occurred during the Sporting-FC Porto classic, held on August 30, 2025, at the José Alvalade Stadium. At the moment of FC Porto's first goal – which won 2-1 – the club's blue and white fans celebrated intensely, causing the breaking of glass that hit 17 Sporting fans located on the lower floor, beneath the security box.

According to the investigations carried out by the Disciplinary Council, "there are no data, elements, or circumstances that, when considered together and even through logical-rational reasoning, allow, and reasonably, to admit any reasonable possibility of Sporting Clube de Portugal – Futebol, SAD, being sanctioned for non-compliance with any regulatory norms."

According to the published opinion, the Sporting club complied with safety regulations, and on the day of the match, an inspection was carried out that did not detect any anomalies in the infrastructure. The breaking of the two glass panes and the subsequent injuries to the fans are attributed to a group that breached the cordon of venue assistants and, positioned on the concrete wall next to the metal guardrail, kicked the glass until it broke, causing shards to fall to the lower floor.
