Last update: The name of the stadium came from the name of a neighbourhood located to the north of the area called ‘Luz’ or ‘Light’. The Sport Lisboa group was founded in a pharmacy, which some reports labelled as a drugstore, in the Belém district of Lisbon.

Probably.In the four years following the club’s foundation, the facilities they played on were driving players away.

Venue for the final of Euro 2004

The idea of this group was concocted by the Rodrigues brothers, who lived in the pharmacy building, and a couple of its employees. We saw the Eagles practising as they had a game that weekend.One of the highlights of our trip to Lisbon was seeing the Portuguese National Soccer team play the Ukraine team.

Really worth doing. Jorge Jesus reported to have signed three year deal to return to Benfica. Before every Benfica match at the Estádio da Luz, it flies around the stadium and then lands on top of the club's crest (without the eagle symbol), completing it.
Just to add an ostentatious final touch, an eagle was placed atop the shield.The eagle is a popular animal to go for if you’re designing a football badge.

You wont find the Sporting Lion roaring around the stadium or a Dragon of FC Porto breathing fire around the Dragao.

It was decided that Sport Lisboa would play in red and white – hence the colours on today’s crest and kits – but the reasoning behind this is up for some debate.Some say red and white were chosen as they symbolise bravery and peace; others suggest that these were the colours that stood out most to the players when the kits were put to them.

We enjoyed lots of food outside the stadium before the match. A flurry of moves could follow end of league season. Facilities are clean, my Mrs checked out the ladies and said they were decent and up to standard.

Football game is a big passion and religion for many portugese Benfica supporters.

Either way, there they were, painted on a shield with a football slapped in the middle. Eagles.

If the bird lands earlier, the visitors will win. See also the club's greatest achievements at the Benfica Museum Cosme Damião.
