The FPF, in a first phase, and shortly after the handball, basketball, skating and volleyball federations, reported on the government’s decision
The decision is final. The limitation of circulation between the different provinces of the continental territory, in the period between 00:00 hours on October 30 and 06:00 hours on November 3, 2020, led the Government to cancel all sports competitions, except the professionals, or that is, I and II League.
The FPF was the first to give notice of the decision, already this Friday, announcing “the complete alteration of the following day of the tests currently organized by the FPF”, scheduled for the next four days. In question, the statement referred to the “existing public health context” and the “measures promulgated by the Government for the municipalities of Felgueiras, Lousada and Paços de Ferreira, in the sphere of the situation of calamity, and the determination of limitation of circulation between different municipalities of the continental territory in the period between 00:00 hours on October 30 and 06:00 hours on November 3, 2020 “. In practice, the FPF organizes the Portuguese Championship, the BPI League (women’s championship), the Revelation League and the national futsal championships. Therefore, as far as football is concerned, only the 1st and 2nd League matches will be played.
Shortly after, the handball, basketball, skating and volleyball federations made the same decision. “The decision to suspend non-professional sports activities was communicated by the Government to the sports federations this Thursday and we ask for a better understanding of all to be able to comply with it.”
