Arouca may play in alternative stadium against FC Porto

Arouca may have to play in an alternative stadium against FC Porto. The scheduled date for Arouca to host FC Porto, set for September 28, does not please Arouca due to the Feira das Colheitas.

What happened?

The emblem of the serra da Freita did not make any request to the League regarding this date before the calendar draw.

Why is this important for Arouca?

Arouca is currently in 8th place in the Primeira Liga, with 42 points in 34 games, and a recent form of WWDLW. Arouca's last result was a 3-1 win against Tondela on May 16, 2026.

What comes next?

After a meeting between the Municipality, police forces, Civil Protection, firefighters and representatives of the two clubs, it was determined that there are no conditions to play at the Estádio Municipal de Arouca on the 28th, so the game may be played at another venue.
