"The Portuguese soccer federation asked a Lisbon court Wednesday to grant it exceptional powers in order to avoid a threatened FIFA ban.
Getting a public interest order would enable the federation to override a previous court decision blocking the relegation of a team ? Gil Vicente ? to the second division.
FIFA threatened Monday to ban Portuguese teams from all international competitions if the dispute ? which has disrupted the domestic league schedule ? is not settled by Sept. 14.
Portugal plays Finland later Wednesday in a European Championship qualifier, and three Portuguese clubs ? FC Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon ? have qualified for the Champions League.
The dispute started at the end of last season when northern club Gil Vicente remained in the first division by a point while Lisbon team Belenenses was demoted to the second division.
Belenenses then accused Gil Vicente of fielding an unregistered player ? Mateus Galeano da Costa ? and going to civil courts to settle a sports dispute, which is a violation of domestic and FIFA regulations.
The Portuguese League demoted Gil Vicente to the second division and brought Belenenses back to the first.
In turn, Gil Vicente appealed ? and lost ? at the Justice Council, Portuguese sport's highest court of appeal, before winning a civil court order for its reinstatement in the first division."
