FC Porto, Sporting, and Benfica Fined After Matchday 24
The Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) released on Thursday afternoon the sanctions list for the 24th round of the Primeira Liga. Despite winning their matches, FC Porto, Sporting, and Benfica were all fined.
FC Porto Hit with Largest Fine
FC Porto received the heaviest penalty among the “big three,” amounting to €7,650. The fine was imposed due to the actions of stadium speaker Henrique Mano during the match against Arouca at Estádio do Dragão. At the 37th and 44th minutes of the second half, Mano used the stadium’s sound system to chant “Porto, Porto, Porto.” The FPF clarified that these chants were not linked to announcing attendance figures or player substitutions.
Sporting Penalized for Delay and Fan Behavior
Sporting was fined €2,882 following their 3–0 victory over Estoril. The sanctions included €2,040 for returning three minutes late from halftime and €842 for inappropriate behavior by fans. Supporters in the south stand repeatedly shouted chants criticizing match schedules, police violence, and the league, including: “The league is s*!”
Benfica Sanctioned for Pyrotechnics
Benfica was fined €1,910 after their away match against Gil Vicente, where fans set off five flares in the north stand. The disciplinary report identified the supporters by their clothing and chants.
Additionally, Benfica’s B team was fined €540 for a four-minute delay at the start of their match against Penafiel, which ended in a 1–1 draw.
