“The Portuguese partnership / the Confederations League is launching with great success. The É para Cartão campaign allows thousands of supporters to watch the games in an accessible way.
Liga Portugal itself congratulates itself on the success of the É para Cartão campaign, which already on this first day allowed thousands of fans to watch the matches of Liga Portugal Beticlic and Liga Portugal SABSEG in an accessible way for all, in a partnership included in the Football is You campaign, designed to promote returning families and fans to the stadiums.
Although the journey is far from over, the indications we have are very positive regarding the immediate success of this initiative.
Liga Portugal informs that the tickets sold under the partnership established with Continente are intended for a specific area of the stadiums, which was previously identified and transferred to the authorities responsible for the security of the games in question, allowing these first round games to take place without any problem registration in the venues covered by this campaign. .
Liga Portugal will not accept the possibility of using an initiative whose sole purpose is to encourage the return of families and fans to stadiums to create an environment that is not compatible with this purpose.
He further informed that he would do everything in his power, and work with the authorities, security forces and clubs to defend the interests of professional football, clubs and fans who really love football.
