In a dramatic turn of events, the arbitration court of sport has revoked the sanctions
previously applied to Sporting CP SAD and players Nuno Santos and Matheus Reis,
following an incident at the Super Cup Cândido de Oliveira in August 2024.
The initial penalties stemmed from an incident where fans were injured after a box
protection glass fell.
Background of the Incident
During the Super Cup match, a section of protective glass gave way, injuring two
supporters—a father and daughter.the daughter sustained a important cut to the
scalp and was diagnosed with an epicranian hematoma. The incident occurred within
a box where Sporting CP players, not participating in the game, were present. FC
Porto won the Super Cup 4-3 after an extension.
Initial Sanctions and Appeal
In November 2024,the Portuguese Football Federation Discipline Council imposed severe
penalties. Nuno Santos received an eight-game suspension and a fine of 3,570 euros.
Sporting CP SAD was also ordered to pay 3,570 euros, while Matheus Reis faced a
fine of 510 euros.
The Discipline Council steadfast that Nuno Santos and matheus Reis were responsible
for damaging the protective glass. They said the players “paid several spankings that
made the protective glass, and it was the Portuguese, probably with the foot, causing
the impact that made three of the four supports of the glass.”
Sporting CP appealed the sanctions, leading to the arbitration court of sport’s
decision to overturn the punishments.
sporting CP’s Reaction
Sporting CP released a statement acknowledging the overturned sanctions. They quoted the
following regarding the council’s decision, “Following the decision of the Discipline
Council, which condemned the player Nuno Santos in the sanction of suspension of eight
games at the time of the game Surplus held at the Municipal Stadium of Aveiro, the
Sporting SAD informs that it was notified today of the judgment issued by TAD, in
the context of case 67/2024, which, concluding the origin of the appeal, revoked
the sanctions applied to Sporting SAD and PLAYERS Nuno Santos e Matheus Reis

Arbitration Victory: Sporting CP Legal Counsel Reacts to Overturned Sanctions
in a recent development, the arbitration court of sport overturned sanctions against Sporting CP and players Nuno Santos and Matheus Reis. We sat down with Dr. Sofia Mendes, Lead Counsel for Sporting CP, to discuss the implications of this decision.
The interview
Dr.Mendes,thank you for joining us. Can you briefly explain the situation surrounding the incident at the Super Cup Cândido de Oliveira in August 2024?
Certainly. During the Super Cup match, an unfortunate incident occurred where a section of protective glass gave way, resulting in injuries to two supporters. This happened within a box where some Sporting CP players were present but not actively participating in the game.
What were the initial sanctions imposed by the Portuguese Football Federation Discipline Council?
The Discipline Council initially imposed quite severe penalties. Nuno Santos received an eight-game suspension and a fine of 3,570 euros. Sporting CP SAD was also fined 3,570 euros, and Matheus Reis was fined 510 euros. The Council attributed the damage to the protective glass to the players’ actions.
What was Sporting CP’s reaction to these sanctions, and why did you choose to appeal?
We firmly believed that the sanctions were unjust and not supported by the evidence. We felt that the Discipline Council’s assessment was based on speculation rather than concrete proof. Protecting our players and the club’s reputation is paramount, hence our decision to appeal to the arbitration court of sport.
The arbitration court ultimately overturned the sanctions. What was yoru reaction to this decision?
We were, of course, very pleased with the outcome. The arbitration court’s decision validates our position and demonstrates that due process and a fair assessment of the facts are crucial. It’s a victory for Sporting CP, Nuno Santos, and Matheus Reis.
What impact do you believe this decision will have on Sporting CP moving forward?
This allows us to put this unfortunate chapter behind us and focus entirely on our sporting objectives. Nuno Santos and Matheus Reis are valuable members of the team, and their immediate availability is a meaningful boost. It also reinforces the importance of a robust legal defense when facing potentially unfair or unsubstantiated accusations. This case highlights the importance of due diligence in investigations related to incidents in sports.
looking at the larger picture, what lessons can other football clubs and sporting organizations learn from this case regarding disciplinary proceedings and appeals processes?
Openness, fairness, and a thorough investigation are absolutely essential in any disciplinary proceeding. It’s vital to rely on concrete evidence rather than speculation or assumptions. Clubs must also be prepared to vigorously defend their rights and those of their players through the appeals process when necessary. this case underscores the importance of understanding the nuances of sports arbitration and the role it plays in ensuring justice within the sporting world.
Thank you for your time, Dr. Mendes.
My pleasure.
