The Estádio São Luís, home of Farense, was banned from training and official games due to the poor condition of the pitch, announced this Monday, 30 August, the Liga. If necessary, the Faro may have to play at the Estádio Algarve.
In a statement, the League says that today it notified Farense «of the preventive banning of its pitch for any type of use, including training and official matches», after it «was scored with the second consecutive negative score», after the yesterday's game with Feirense, as it had already happened after the challenge with Rio Ave, on 15th of August.
At the time, Liga Portugal guarantees that "it notified the club, reporting the risk of interdiction, if the pitch was not intervened and presented effective improvement, which did not occur despite the plan presented for its recovery".
Following the planned procedures, the visit of the Technical Inspection Commission (CTV) to the venue will take place within two days.
For the rest, it will be the CTV, after the preventive ban already decreed, to recommend to the League's Executive Board the administrative measures to be applied, and this Committee is also responsible for the positive assessment so that the ban can be lifted.
If this prohibition is maintained, Farense has the Algarve Stadium as an alternative. According to the II Liga calendar, the Algarve will only play at home again on 19 September, against Benfica B.
