A Sea of Fans Expected at Estádio Algarve

Ticket Sales Surging
The initial discontent from some Farense fans regarding the venue change from São Luís in Faro to Estádio Algarve in Vale da Venda has not hindered ticket sales. The Algarve locals are gearing up for a full west stand to support their team against the formidable Sporting.
Enthusiasm in the Region
This match has sparked great enthusiasm in the region, especially since it falls in August when many are vacationing in the Algarve. The influx of Sporting fans is further contributing to the expected capacity crowd.
Financial Reasons for Venue Change
It's worth noting that the Farense management cited financial reasons for moving games against top teams like Sporting, Benfica, and FC Porto to Estádio Algarve, which has a capacity of nearly 21,000, compared to the 7,000 at São Luís. This shift is a boon for the club's finances.
