SL Benfica Stadium

Home to one of Portugal’s “Big Three,” the SL Benfica Stadium opened in 2003 and was designed by architect Damon Lavelle. From the moment you enter, you can feel the deep-rooted passion for football as your guide highlights the stadium’s importance to the European football scene over the years.

With seating for 64,642 fans, this UEFA Category Four stadium clearly demonstrates its impressive scale. After all, this was where players like Ángel Di María and Orkun Kökçü made history.

Every detail—from the meticulously maintained pitch to the polycarbonate roof supported by 43-meter-high tie-beam arches—reflects thoughtful design. The Hall of Fame honors the players who have shaped the club’s legacy, and a walk through the Tunnel offers a unique connection to the historic cheers that have accompanied many memorable moments on the pitch.
