have suspended all of Gil's teams from all competitions. 23/08/06 Belenenses will stay in the Liga (the first division) and Gil Vicente will drop to the
Liga de Honra (second) after the FPF Council of Justice turned down Gil's appeal to an identical decision taken previously. Valentim Loureiro, still president of the Liga de clubes, has said that the
rules state that the decision has to be adopted immediately, even though Gil are considering appealing yet again, this time in the civil courts. Belenenses will thus start the new season against Benfica at the
Luz Sunday. The Liga Disciplinary Committeee found Tuesday that Gil Vicente should be relegated from the Liga to the
Liga de Honra, instead of Belenenses. Belenenses should have been relegated on Liga position, but they claimed that at one point last season Gil used an amateur player, the Angolan Mateus,
and when it came to argue the case, the club took it to the civil courts, when Liga
regulations clearly state that cases like that should be addressed internally. Gil have until 09 August to appeal, but it is not thought that any appeal will succeed. 29/07/06

promised Tuesday that the Liga will start on time on 27 August, despite the fact that the 'Mateus Case' has yet to be resolved. Belenenses and Gil Vicente
do not know which of them will be relegated; Gil played an unregistered player, Mateus, last season, and Belenenses, relegated are claiming Gil's place in the Liga. 23/07/06 The championship will have the same sponsor but a new name this season. Last year's Liga betandwin.com will now be called the Bwinliga. The Liga The full
