Lus. Lourosa is moving its upcoming Portugal Cup match. On Monday, the club announced that their third-round encounter against Resende will not be played at their usual grounds. Instead, the action shifts to the Complexo Desportivo de Azevido in Rebordosa.
This isn’t a simple change of plans. It’s part of a bigger story for the club this season. Lus. Lourosa’s home stadium is currently undergoing major renovation work. These upgrades are crucial for the venue to meet the strict requirements for hosting matches in the second division. It’s a sign of progress, but it certainly keeps the team on the road.
The club expressed its deep appreciation for the warm welcome. They shared a message on social media, thanking Rebordosa Atlético Clube and its president, Joaquim Barbosa. Their generosity in providing the sports venue for the cup tie highlights a wonderful spirit of cooperation between clubs. Finding suitable temporary homes is vital when a team is stepping up to a higher league and facing necessary stadium improvements.
Indeed, this isn’t the first time Lus. Lourosa has needed a temporary address. For their league games this season, since their promotion to the second tier, the Estádio Dr. Jorge Sampaio in Pedroso has been their borrowed pitch. It shows the club’s resilience as they navigate a season of transitions. Fans can mark their calendars: the match against Resende is set for next Sunday at 3 PM.
