Sporting launch unique initiative ahead of Estrela da Amadora clash | OneFootball

Sporting is preparing to host the now famous ‘jogo dos núcleos’ at the Estádio de Alvalade next Sunday. The match against Estrela da Amadora, counting for the 12th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, will be marked by the green wave expected at the Lions’ home ground.

The newspaper Record reports that the Lions are expecting an unprecedented turnout for this type of event, with around 190 Sporting fan clubs set to be present at Alvalade to watch the game against Estrela da Amadora, in a tradition carried out by the club twice a year – and, by all accounts, they will be able to witness Pedro Gonçalves’ return to competition.

In total, the national press reports that more than seven thousand Sporting fans from all over the country will head to Alvalade next Sunday afternoon to support the Lions in another league match. For this purpose, around 120 buses have been rented.

Due largely to this event, Sporting has currently sold out all tickets for the match against Estrela da Amadora. Fans who still wish to attend the match live will have to wait for the ‘Gameback’ option – for Gamebox holders who inform the Club that they will not be attending the stadium next Sunday.

The truth is that a big green and white celebration is expected around Alvalade, with the added bonus that the day after the match, Monday, December 1st, is a national holiday. This way, fans coming from afar will be able to enjoy the match without ‘watching the clock’ to return home. The Lions hope to break this season’s attendance record, which still belongs to the classic against Porto, when 50,946 fans attended the Lions’ home.
