This Monday, the National Directorate sent a letter to Frederico Varandas, president of Sporting, reporting his “astonishment, disgust and discontent” at the news of the change of name of the Alcochete training center to ‘Cristiano Ronaldo Academy. ‘.
The Madeiran club claims that its own training center has been called ‘Cristiano Ronaldo Campus Futebol’ for 13 years and that the name now used by the lions for the Alcochete academy violates the fundamental principle of trademark registration, as it causes “Name confusion ».
Read Nacional’s letter sent to Varandas in its entirety:
“Dear Mr. President,
To our great amazement we learn that Sporting Clube de Portugal intends to change the name of the Academy.
As you know and the public knows, the Clube Desportivo Nacional appointed its Academy “Cristiano Ronaldo Campus Futebol” in November 2007, for which we express our dissatisfaction and total disagreement.
In fact, our position is based on the fundamental principle of trademark registration, as they can be confused, which should be avoided, so we express our utter displeasure and discontent.
