Attention! Sporting issue key warning before Porto showdown | OneFootball

Sporting face Porto this Wednesday in the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, holding a 1-0 advantage in the tie. With the green and whites set to be backed by around 2,500 fans at the Dragons' ground, the Alvalade club has issued guidance to those travelling to Porto.

As is customary for classics at the Dragão, Sporting fans will gather at Parque STCP Bonjóia at 5:00 pm, with the procession to the stadium scheduled to leave at 6:00 pm. Meanwhile, the gates at Porto’s ground will open at 6:45 pm.

"We ask for the usual cooperation with the security teams, both during the journey and in the stadium entry procedures, namely ticket validation and searches", the Club said — which is already moving for a midfielder — in a statement published on its official website, also offering advice to green-and-white supporters travelling to the Estádio do Dragão outside the security cordon.

"We advise ticket holders for Gate 10, sector 46, not to wear Sporting clothing, so as to allow direct access through this gate. We also inform Sporting members and fans who do not have a ticket, or who hold tickets for areas not intended for Sporting supporters, that they will not be allowed into the stadium, in order to guarantee the safety of everyone involved in this match," it reads.

In conclusion, the Club warns fans about their behaviour. "We call on all Sporting supporters to show complete fair play, upholding Sporting’s good name. We also ask that there be no damage or pyrotechnics, as the Club is the one most harmed in such situations," it stresses.
