Rui Costa, president of Benfica, has been suspended for 45 days by the Portuguese Football Federation’s (FPF) Disciplinary Board. The suspension follows a complaint filed by the Portuguese Referees Association (APAF). Details of the complaint have not been publicly disclosed. The decision effectively removes Costa from his position at the club during the suspension period. Benfica has yet to release an official statement regarding the matter. The FPF’s Disciplinary Board is responsible for addressing misconduct and rule violations within Portuguese football. This suspension could have implications for Benfica’s operations and decision-making in the coming weeks.
