Bruno de Carvalho leads Alvalade delegation hosted in Parliament

Sporting Clube de Portugal was hosted in the Portuguese Parliament this Wednesday by the Socialist Party following the presentation of a document by Alvalade on proposals for combating corruption in sport. The Sporting CP delegation was led by president Bruno de Carvalho and was hosted by three Socialist Party Members of Parliament.

"Sporting CP, following on from our proposals for football, had the pleasure of again meeting with the Socailst Party's parliamentary group, where we had the opportunity to contribute and reaffirm our willingness to get involved in all areas of football, particularly football. It was a good meeting and we talked about football. We are an institution of public service and as part of that mission we look to help in maximising the modernisation and credibility of football", said Bruno de Carvalho after the session.

Speaking for the Socialist Party, João Torres affirmed his party's readiness to listen to Sporting CP's proposals: "Three projects have generally been approved over the last 15 days, one of which was tabled by the Socialist Party. These projects will now be submitted to the respective committees and this meeting is part of that. I don't have a lot to say specifically about Sporting CP's proposal right now. We are still reflecting on it, but this meeting enabled us to clarify some things in relation to sports policies. However, I would say that Sporting CP, the Socialist Party and every citizen defends the need to promote transparency in sport."
