Sport Lisboa e Benfica announces that it has suspended five members and cancelled their Red Passes following disciplinary proceedings that could lead to the maximum penalty provided for in the Statutes: expulsion.

These disciplinary proceedings were initiated as a result of an internal investigation launched following the match between Benfica and Real Madrid on 17 February, and the adoption of inappropriate behaviour in the stands, of a racist nature, incompatible with the values and principles that govern the Club.

Sport Lisboa e Benfica reaffirms that it does not tolerate any form of discrimination or racism and will continue to act firmly whenever behaviour that undermines the values of the Club, sport and society is involved.
