The debate between the six candidates for the presidency of Benfica, broadcast on BTV, was marked by a tense moment involving João Noronha Lopes, Rui Costa and Luís Filipe Vieira. It all started when Noronha presented minutes related to the construction of Estádio da Luz, in response to a question from Rui Costa about his departure from the club’s management.
The current president questioned whether Noronha was in favor of building the new stadium, to which he displayed the document as proof. However, Luís Filipe Vieira immediately intervened, stating that the minutes were “completely erased” and demanding to see them in person. The episode led to a more heated exchange of words between the three candidates.
The discussion around the document turned out to be one of the most striking moments of the debate, which brought together Rui Costa, João Noronha Lopes, Luís Filipe Vieira, João Diogo Manteigas, Martim Mayer and Cristóvão Carvalho. The Benfica elections take place next Saturday and promise an intense dispute for the leadership of the Luz club.
hahahahahahahahahahahah. He brought an erased document 🤣 He tried to make a number and left with his tail between his legs.
