Sporting announced in a statement on Sunday that it “has ended attempts to conclude a protocol with the Associação Juventude Leonina”. On the basis of this statement, the incidents in the stands during Saturday’s match against Casa Pia, which led to the intervention of the riot police, were registered.
The lions also say they will “actively cooperate with the security forces and the APVDC to identify all those responsible for the events”.
Sporting Clube de Portugal regrets and rejects the violence that took place yesterday, in Estádio José Alvalade, during the match with Casa Pia Atlético Clube.
We appreciate the support of everyone who, as always, has made a positive contribution to lead our team to victory.
Sporting CP reiterates its stance in favor of a healthy sports show, lived in family and in support of its club, and will maintain its intransigence in the fight against crime and violence in sport. Anyone who identifies with and particularly supports the values of Sporting CP does not engage in any particular behavior nor does it cause significant, intentional and recurring harm that seriously harms the Club.
Sporting CP announces that it will work actively with the security forces and APVDC to identify all those responsible for yesterday’s events.
Due to what has happened and after an accumulation of similar events and irregularities also identified by the APVDC, Sporting CP is also ending its attempts to conclude a protocol with the Associação Juventude Leonina.”
