Liga: Casa Pia’s west stand closed for match against Benfica

Casa Pia announced that the west stand of the Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior will be closed during the match against Benfica. The closure is due to a sanction imposed by the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF).

The decision to close this section of the stadium follows an incident where a fan used pyrotechnic devices during a match. This action violates the security and disciplinary rules established for sporting events.

The west stand is generally allocated for Casa Pia members during Primeira Liga games. The ban aims to ensure the safety of players and fans present at the stadium during the confrontation with Benfica.

The club stated that the measure is part of compliance with sanctions imposed by sports authorities and reiterated the need to respect rules for the safe organization of matches.
