Sporting issued a statement on Wednesday with a set of recommendations to its fans regarding Thursday’s classic match against FC Porto, at the Dragao Stadium, in reference to the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final.

The following point stands out: “Fans with tickets for sectors other than the bench are advised not to bring sports equipment, bearing in mind that FC Porto will be prohibited from entering for security reasons.”

This is the full statement:

The Sporting Clube de Portugal has informed members and fans who will be in Estádio do Dragão for the classic match against FC Porto, scheduled for 8:15 p.m. this Thursday, that the rendezvous point for the procession to the match venue is STCP Bonjoia Park. .

Athletes should be at Parque STCP Bonjóia at 6:15 pm, with departure for Estádio do Dragão at 6:30 pm. Those who arrive later will have to make the journey by their own means. STCP Bonjóia Park will have a parking area.

Access to the Estádio do Dragão Seat for Sporting CP fans will be through Gates 19 and 20. Tickets accessible through Gate 20 are non-transferable, as are the Zone with Special Conditions of Access and Accommodation (ZCEAP).

ZCEAP ticket holders will be required to present a photo ID which must match the name on the ticket.

Fans with tickets for sectors other than the bench are advised not to use props related to Sporting CP, bearing in mind that FC Porto will be denied entry for security reasons. »
