Joaquim Evangelista, president of the players union, warned: “Much has been said about the role of players, caught by surprise during the game. The players are united and in this matter willing to stop and demand respect, if necessary.” The union awaits, in addition to disciplinary procedures, the result of the process initiated by the new Authority for the Prevention and Fight against Violence in Sport (APCVD) and, in addition to the criminal proceedings, the accessory measures provided by the law against violence and discrimination in sports, in order to ban the authors of these racist songs of portuguese stadiums.
