Boavista, the penultimate ranked from the first league of Portugal, is facing very difficult times. The Lusitanians went through a penile moment, after the electric current at the “Bessa” stadium was cut.
Boavista announced that tickets for the next match against Sporting Lisbon (April 27) were put up for sale, but at the club store, not in the ordinary place, ie at the ticket offices near the stadium. This was caused by the fact that the Portuguese group is in an unpleasant and unusual situation, after the electricity supply was interrupted on the “BESSA” stadium, according to Abola.pt.
Critical situation for Boavista
The club in Porto has significant debts, which have led to this extreme measure. Due to the precarious financial situation, the club was forbidden to make transfers for five periods. Now, footballers from Boavista are forced to train in Emoriz, at 30 kilometers Porto. The team is located on the penultimate place, 17, 3 points behind Aves, the 16th place, which at this moment would play the maintenance dam in the first league.
The difficult situation of those from Boavista is related to the owner of the club, the businessman Luxembourg Gérard Lopez. In the past, he left Lille (France) with debts of 120 million euros, went bankrupt on Mouscron (Belgium) in 2022, and Bordeaux (France), whose owner continues, relegated a sportsman in Ligue 2 and was sent to the 4th value echelon.
The quoted source also writes that the debt was paid during Tuesday, and the current on the stadium in Boavista returned.
