Gil Vicente agrees to play in Portuguese second division September 29, 2006 LISBON (AFP) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gil Vicente, the club at the centre of a relegation dispute that almost led FIFA to ban Portugal from international competition earlier this month, has agreed to turn up for their second division match against Rio Ave on Sunday. Gil Vicente同意在乙級聯賽踢球，他們將在星期天的比賽對上Rio Ave。 The club failed to show for their first three scheduled second division matches in protest against the Portuguese Football Federation's decision to relegate them from the first division last season for using an ineligible player, Angola midfielder Mateus Galeano da Costa. 為了抗議葡萄牙足協的決定，Gil Vicente缺席了前三場聯賽比賽。 If Gil Vicente skipped four consecutive matches it would face being kicked out of Portuguese competitions for several years. 如果Gil Vicente連續缺席四場比賽，將被驅逐葡萄牙國內的比賽七年。 While the club agreed to play in the second division on Sunday, it said in a statement on its internet site that it would seek to have the three matches which it missed against Feirense, Estoril and Trofense to be rescheduled. 球隊同意在星期日時將會參加比賽， 並在官網聲日他們將尋求對Feirense、Estoril、Trofense的比賽重賽。 The Portuguese league has deducted points from Gil Vicente for failing to turn up to the matches and the club now lies at the bottom of the second division. Gil Vicent目前排在乙級聯賽的積分榜末位。 Gil Vicente, which finished fifth in the Portuguese premier league in the 1999/2000 season, was replaced in the first divion by Belenenses, who had been relegated last season. Gil Vicente在1999／2000賽季排在葡超的第五名，在上賽季後被降級。 The club contested the suspension of its Angolan player, and then its relegation, in civil courts, contravening FIFA and league rules. Its failure to turn up for matches also disrupted the start of the domestic league schedule. --
