The controversial case of the eight soccer players and the coaching staff who are involved in sexual abuse and neglect
The events, “an alleged orgy and practices of a sexual nature”, would have occurred in the 2021-22 season in a club apartment, where a member of the technical team lived, and would have affected at least eight players, according to a person whose identity was not revealed but who would be a former Famalicão player.
“Seeing several of my professional colleagues report sexual harassment practices (…), I decided to also tell my case in this way and hope that this situation will also be investigated, ”explained the complainant, collected by the Portuguese medium.
Furthermore, he criticized the “negligent conduct” of the club leaders who “did nothing” when they were notified that the club’s coach and sports director had been reported for practices of sexual harassment while working on other computers.
In September, the club suspended sporting director Samuel Costa and coach Miguel Afonso, both from female teamafter the FPF opened an investigation into the suspected sexual harassment towards players when they worked at Vitória de Guimarães and Rio Ave, respectively.
EFE contacted the Famalicão but got no reply.
