FIGHT FOR JUSTICE CONTINUES Highly respected Sporting Lisbon coach Rúben Amorim Liga which was awarded to Vizela and Arouca. Rúben Amorim and top sports journalist Rui Santos have supported SC remarked that Portugal should be proud to be hosting the final Olhanense in their quest to overturn the injustice of being stages of the Champions League in Lisbon but said, “that the denied an opportunity to challenge for promotion to the Segunda commitment that has been made to bring this event to Portugal Supporters demonstrate at the should have been the same to finish the Championship FPF headquarters in Lisbon of Portugal”. Rui Santos, in his Extra Time programme in “SIC Notícias”, firmly supported “unconditionally” the fight of the clubs against the FPF and criticised the lack of availability of the federative president Fernando Gomes to meet them. The Mayor of Olhão, António Miguel Pina, has met with the Secretary of State for Youth and Sports to “request his intervention with the FPF so that good sense prevails and the play-offs are completed to make it fair for those clubs denied a voice”. Other countries including Germany and England have been able to arrange play-offs for lower league teams so why the FPF has not seen fit to support the clubs in their flagship league remains a mystery. www.eastalgarvemag.com 53
