Bad weather: Leiria v FC Porto B to be played in Estoril | OneFootball

The League of clubs announced this Wednesday that the match between União de Leiria and FC Porto B, corresponding to the 22nd round of the II League, will take place in Estoril due to the damage caused by bad weather at the Leiria team's stadium.

According to the body that oversees professional football, União de Leiria requested the League to change the location of the match on February 15, "due to ongoing interventions at Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa [...], resulting from the damage caused by the depression Kristin."

União de Leiria had already been forced to postpone the reception of Paços de Ferreira, scheduled for February 1, after its stadium suffered severe structural damage, especially to the roof.

Since January 28, fifteen people have died in Portugal as a result of the depressions Kristin, Leonardo, and Marta, which also caused hundreds of injuries and displaced people.

Among the main material impacts of the storm are the total or partial destruction of homes, businesses, and equipment, the fall of trees and other structures, the closure of roads, schools, and transport services, cuts in electricity, water, and communications supply, as well as floods and inundations.

The most affected regions are the Center, Lisbon and Vale do Tejo, and Alentejo.
