Porto v Sporting? Pedro Proença 'overlooks' cup clash | OneFootball

Pedro Proença will not be at the Estádio do Dragão to watch the clash between Porto and Sporting, corresponding to the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, scheduled for this Wednesday, 22 April, at 8:45 pm.

According to Record, the president of the Portuguese Football Federation is maintaining an approach aimed at preserving institutional neutrality, choosing to attend only the final of the competition, scheduled for 24 May at Jamor.

As such, in addition to not attending the clássico at the Dragão, Pedro Proença will also play no mediating role in the context of the tension between André Villas-Boas and Frederico Varandas. The federation leader will also not be present at the match between Torreense and Fafe.

It should be recalled that Proença had already been criticised for not attending the first leg between Sporting and Porto on 3 March, having instead chosen at the time to watch the Portugal women’s national team match against Finland in Vizela.

The green-and-white side return to action next Wednesday, 22 April, against Porto. The match, the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, against the side coached by Francesco Farioli, will be played at the Estádio do Dragão at 8:45 pm.
