FC Porto complain to FPF over Cidade de Coimbra pitch | OneFootball

FC Porto will submit a formal complaint to the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) over the poor condition of the pitch at the Cidade de Coimbra Stadium, where the national champions secured the Super Cup against Torreense.

The Dragons had already expressed their dissatisfaction to the FPF before the match, believing that the state of the pitch was deplorable. In the flash interviews before the game, Farioli and Bednarek also voiced concern about the condition of the field.

The Polish centre-back ended up seeing those fears confirmed after suffering a Grade I sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee.

In light of this situation, FC Porto intends to establish responsibility with the FPF and will formalize a complaint through an official submission.

The FPF has an assessment from RED, the company responsible for the pitch, dated 31 July, which guarantees that the state of the surface did not pose a risk to the players. The same company had been monitoring the grass since the beginning of July.
