Handball: Marítimo appeal defeat to FC Porto to the TAD | OneFootball

Marítimo has filed a complaint with the Sports Arbitration Court (TAD) over the defeat, awarded for failure to appear, in the match against FC Porto. The Madeira club believes this is an “arbitral decision” by the Portuguese Handball Federation, which initially decided to reschedule the game from the 21st round of the regular season of the championship and later ended up ruling that a defeat for failure to appear should be awarded.

The match was not played because of adverse weather conditions at Madeira Airport, which prevented the green-and-red side from traveling to FC Porto’s ground.

After the match was canceled, Marítimo’s officials tried to find alternative flights. However, the airline and the travel agency did not authorize new bookings with departure before March 5.

This outcome allowed the Dragons to collect the three points.
