Benfica and Porto demand explanations about Duarte Gomes' departure
The two big clubs are asking the FPF for transparency after complaints to the Public Ministry and the legal escalation of the case.
Benfica and FC Porto demanded urgent clarifications from the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) regarding the departure of Duarte Gomes from the technical direction of arbitration, after the entity had sent facts reported by the former referee to the Public Ministry. The joint response from the two national giants comes at a critical moment for the governance of Portuguese football, with the clubs asking for full transparency about the internal processes that led to Duarte Gomes' removal. The FPF's decision to escalate the situation to common justice, sending the facts to the Public Prosecutor's Office, raised a warning signal in the leadership of Luz and Dragão.
