FC Porto elections. List A request caused delay in the start

The half-hour delay in the opening of the electoral process for the presidency of FC Porto was due to a request submitted by List A, led by Pinto da Costa, for the replacement of some members at the polling station.

"We submitted a request with a period to change members of a table, because people who were coming, for health or family reasons, could not attend. It was a request for substitution and it was approved", explained Miguel Corte Real.

The representative of List A considered that this is "something normal in a high electoral", pointing out that during the day "all the lists will submit requests to the table of the general assembly".

"It is not worth making politics on this day. It is nobody's fault, it is just administrative issues. This is a festive day for the club, and List A wants everything to go well, with respect for all members", completed the leader.

Miguel Corte Real also considered that this electoral process is "being an example for all clubs in the world".

"[The electoral act] Is going very well. I invite all members to come to Estádio do Dragão. It is well organized, and, from what I have heard, the members are satisfied with the fluidity and security of the process. The club and all employees are to be congratulated", he concluded.

The elections of the FC Porto social bodies for the four-year period 2024-2028 are disputed by three candidacies, led by Pinto da Costa (list A), André Villas-Boas (B), former coach of the football team, and Nuno Lobo (C), businessman and teacher, also including an independent list to the Superior Council led by Miguel Brás da Cunha (D).

The electoral act will take place until 8 pm today, at Estádio do Dragão, in Porto, at a time when Pinto da Costa is serving his 15th consecutive term, since 1982, and holds the status of leader with the most titles and longevity in world football.
