The Portuguese Football Federation revealed last Monday the date and time for the first leg of the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup, which will involve the winner of the Sporting - AVS match against Porto. The match is scheduled for March 3rd, with the kickoff set for 8:45 PM.
The location of the game will depend on the outcome of the quarter-final match yet to be played. If Sporting advances, the match will be held at Estádio José Alvalade; if AVS secures qualification, the duel will take place in Vila das Aves. In either scenario, the match will be broadcast on free-to-air television via RTP, and also on Sport TV.
