Taça de Portugal: Atlético CP v Benfica still waiting on venue decision | OneFootball

A day after the draw set a Lisbon derby between Benfica and Atlético CP, doubts have now arisen regarding the venue that will host the match related to the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup. According to the information gathered, the Estádio da Tapadinha will not be the venue for the match in question.

According to what was found out by the newspaper A Bola today, the club based in Alcântara will not be able to host the reds at their venue and will thus be forced to find a borrowed home. However, the same source indicates that there are three options on the table.

As far as is known, Atlético CP may host Benfica at three venues that the eagles are well acquainted with. The first option is the Estádio Nacional, in Oeiras, a venue used to host the finals of the Portuguese Cup. Also on the table are the grounds of Estrela Amadora, Estádio José Gomes, and Estoril Praia, Estádio António Coimbra da Mota.

Thus, it will be up to the three parties, in this case, the two clubs and the Portuguese Football Federation, to reach a consensus on the venue that will host the fourth-round match of the main competition. So far, the date and time of the match in question are not yet known.

It should be noted that Benfica, to reach this stage of the competition, had to overcome Chaves, as the eagles traveled to the north of the country and defeated the Flavians 2-0. Meanwhile, the Alcântara club eliminated Felgueiras, also by the same score.
