FC Porto issued a statement in which it responds to criticism received, stating that the Dragons will not be silenced in the face of what they consider to be injustices. The club uses a directive phrase to make it clear that it will continue to speak about the issues it considers important.
In the statement, the blue and whites make a clear declaration about their position regarding refereeing. The club emphasizes that it has no power to nominate referees, not interfering in the decisions of the Arbitration Board of the Portuguese Football Federation.
The club from Porto thus returns to the theme of refereeing, which has been one of its main banners of struggle in recent seasons. The statement comes at a time of tension between FC Porto and the refereeing bodies of Portuguese football.
