The Portuguese Professional Football League changed the date and time of the match between Sporting and Nacional, related to the 5th round of the national championship. The match underwent a rescheduling of its original time.
The reason for this change is related to the fact that Sporting learned the Champions League calendar. The Lions will now have to manage their participation in the European competition together with the national calendar.
Sporting CP is thus the club directly involved in this change, while Nacional from Madeira is the other team participating in this 5th round match of the Portuguese championship.
This situation illustrates the coordination necessary between the calendars of national and European competitions, when Portuguese clubs participate in international tournaments such as the Champions League.
