The Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAD) annulled and revoked the decision of the Disciplinary Council (CD) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), dated 20 October last year, which had sentenced Vitória de Guimarães to the penalty of three matches to closed door and the payment of a fine in the amount of 53,550 euros.
