Hi everyone! I'm translating information about FC Porto, and am not sure what 'irradia' means in this context. Thanks for your help!

Por críticas à entidade federativa e ao estado do futebol em Portugal, a Federação ***irradia*** o presidente do FC Porto, Dr. Cesário Bonito, e suspende por três anos a restante direcção, punições entretanto revistas.
