Tondela was affected by the postponement of the match against Sporting, initially scheduled for this weekend. The decision was made due to the lions' commitments in the Champions League. Francesco Farioli, coach of FC Porto, classified the measure as 'very particular' and highlighted the different treatment in relation to past situations. The Portista coach emphasized that the calendar may become overloaded if things go well for both teams. Looking back, SC Braga also saw their match against Casa Pia postponed, but the situation of the Braga team is different. Benfica, for example, benefited from the postponement of the match against Rio Ave in the first round of 2019/20, when they were competing in the Champions League play-off. So, the controversy rekindles the memory of previous cases. FC Porto, in the same season, was forced to play against Gil Vicente between the European qualifying matches against Krasnodar. More recently, the dragons saw their visit to Arouca postponed by a day, against their will, due to local festivities. The measure is provided for in the regulations, but Farioli states that it is a very particular treatment. Tondela's calendar may be affected if Sporting continues to advance in the Champions League. The match against Tondela may be rescheduled only for the last week of the championship. The FC Porto coach recognizes that the measure is provided for in the regulations, but emphasizes the importance of a balanced calendar. Tondela's fans are eagerly awaiting the definition of the new calendar. The Tondela technical team is working to adapt to the new circumstances. The postponement of the match against Sporting is a challenge for Tondela, but the team is prepared to face the challenges that are approaching. The decision will have implications for the team's preparation and strategy. Tondela will have to adjust their schedule to accommodate the new date of the match.
