After ticket sale row, Sporting fans may be denied entry to Jamor | OneFootball

Torreense are experiencing days of enormous intensity in the final stretch of a season that could go down in the club’s history. In addition to their unprecedented appearance in the Portuguese Cup final against Sporting, scheduled for Sunday at Jamor, the Torres Vedras side remain fully focused on the fight for promotion to Liga Portugal Betclic, a competition they last took part in back in 1991/92.

The packed schedule forces Luís Tralhão to manage priorities carefully. Before turning his full attention to the Cup final, the coach still has the first leg of the promotion playoff against Casa Pia ahead of him, set for Wednesday. Even so, the mood in Torres Vedras is one of genuine euphoria, reflecting the excitement surrounding the team.

In recent weeks, Torreense have registered an increase of more than two thousand members, a rise driven not only by the team’s results, but also by the demand for tickets to the Jamor final. Among the new members are hundreds of Sporting fans who used that route in an attempt to secure a place at the National Stadium.

With a capacity of close to 37,500 spectators, Jamor is once again proving too small for the demand generated by the Cup final, especially with one of the giants of Portuguese football involved. At Alvalade, ticket sales began about a week ago and the criteria adopted by Sporting sparked some controversy, mainly among members with annual seats since the opening of the new José Alvalade Stadium.

Tight rules are also expected in terms of security for the match. As in other Portuguese Cup finals, fans are not expected to be allowed into the sections reserved for the opposing club while wearing their own team’s colours or accessories.
