Caldas reinforces feelings of “sadness, outrage, and incomprehension” regarding the FPF’s decision to change the venue of the Cup match against Sp. Braga.
Just hours after issuing a statement contesting the decision by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) to change the game against Sp. Braga to the Cup, Caldas took to social media to reinforce its feelings of “sadness, outrage and incomprehension” and even threatened not to show up for Wednesday’s match.
In a message shared on social media, with spokespeople André Simões, coach José Vala, and the club’s captains, the club describes the situation as a “hard blow,” due to only learning 24 hours before the start of the match that it would not take place at Campo da Mata. Today’s game is not just a football match. It’s a unique moment, a celebration from morning till night, with a smile on our faces for representing the club of our hearts in the premier competition of Portuguese football. Taking away Campo da Mata from us, less than 24 hours before the game, is a hard blow. They are taking away our soul,” it reads.
