From the matches against Puskás Akademia FC, where Vitoria SC came in Introduction It’s time to take Inferno Branco to Croatia, having felt the same in Hungary last Thursday.

The 100 or so Victorian fans who were there to support the team at Felcsút, at Pancho Aréna, were tireless from the first and last minute and proved, even in a minority, why the Victorians are the best fans in the world, both abroad and at home. Conquerors are stronger when they feel the support of their fans, and as it happened in Felixit, it would be no different in Split.

This Thursday, in Split, a team from Vitoria, confident, and quality, will be pitted against an opponent who will try to take advantage of the adverse environment that you will feel, and it will take a united Vitoria, on all fronts, able to win this difficult draw. For this reason, it is necessary to clarify some points that have generated some controversy over the past week, especially since United Vitoria is an enlightened Vitoria.

Next Thursday, Vitoria will perform the same performance he did in Felixo, against Puskas Academia: with the away jersey of the previous season. Despite all the efforts made by the Vitória Sport Clube Council so that all the equipment for the 2022-23 season arrived in time for the team’s official matches, this was not possible, only a solution was found that allowed access to a limited number of players.

A delay implemented in 2021 triggered this issue in the year that Vitoria celebrates its centenary, so it was up to this department to solve the issue that arose upstream, but that flowed into these Vitoria-played games. visitor. Although the equipment is from last season, the ambition is the same, and with it we will differ, head-on, in the score in Split, in order to bring the equalizer to our home, de Afonso Henriques.

Regarding the second second leg, in Guimarães, we have the support of all the Victorians on August 10, in our stadium, despite the schedule that makes it very difficult for as many fans as possible to attend. The match at 5pm on Wednesday is by no means the ideal time, given all the restrictions they create in the lives of our fans, as the match is scheduled at that time as a result of a quick request from UEFA, by agreement. With the police forces who, after another match in the Braga region, for the same competition, on Thursday, 8, preferred to change the match of Vitoria to Wednesday.

In addition to the requirement that the match be played on Wednesday, there is also a rule that no competition can interfere, at the level of time, with the UEFA Champions League, which is why Heiduk Split is scheduled to receive the said time. It is a situation that does not satisfy anyone, but it must be accepted reluctantly, despite the efforts and attempts to overturn the decision of the parties.

Four matches scheduled in 11 days. A difficult stage, for everyone, but together it will be successfully overcome.

We believe it is essential that Victorians and Victorians are aware of the decisions that are being made, which is why we are making these clarifications, so that the future is united among all who wear the Vitoria Sport Club colours, be it players, managers, fans or the media, and everyone understands the role that They play in the present and the future of the Centennial Club.
