Benfica Information and Details
Sport Lisboa e Benfica or commonly known as Benfica is one of the big three clubs in Portuguese football as well as the most unfortunate one after winning a back-to-back UEFA Champions Cup in 1961 and 1962. Despite clinching more than 80 domestic trophies plus dominating the league, they have reached ten continental finals but failed to get the silverware. It is believed to be related to the notorious so-called ‘Gutmann Curse’, which said that the club would have the European silverware drought for one century from 1962.
Benfica is based in the capital with Estadio Da Luz as their home turf. After the demolition of the old stadium in 2003, the venue can hold over 64,000 people. The old Da Luz had a bigger capacity of 120,000 spectators. The club occupied it from 1954 to 2003. Prior to 1954, Estádio das Amoreiras and Estadio Campo de Grande were used respectively from 1925 to 1953.
