About Benfica Stadium & Museum
Also known as the Estádio da Luz, the SL Benfica Stadium was opened in 2003 and designed by the renowned architect Damon Lavelle. One of the highlights of Portugal’s largest stadium is its polycarbonate roof, which floods the stadium with light and can be retracted during wet conditions. The museum features a collection of trophies and memorabilia that documents the club’s 120-year history.
Benfica’s victorious legacy is evident in the 87 trophies they’ve won. These include two Champion’s League trophies, 38 Primeira Liga titles, and 7 Taça da Liga championships, among several others.
The stadium was originally built as the venue for the UEFA Euro 2004 tournament that Portugal hosted. It was one of the key locations for several matches over the tournament’s duration, including the highly anticipated final between Greece and Portugal.
The Benfica Museum features the legacy of Cosme Damião, the founder, coach, and midfielder for SL Benfica. The Museu Benfica - Cosme Damião is named after him.
By its fifteenth year, Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica Luz had hosted a total of 17 million spectators.
The Benfica stadium is also expected to be one of the potential venues for the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
