Benfica Virtual Lift

The SL Benfica Stadium features one of the biggest video screens in all of Europe. With 120 screens, each one at 47 inches, you get to take a five-minute tour of the lift and watch a curated selection of key moments from SL Benfica’s history. The lift also transports you to all three floors of the stadium.

The polycarbonate roof

The SL Benfica Stadium is also known as the “Stadium of Light” or the “Estádio da Luz.” If you’re wondering how it got this nickname, the answer lies in its roof. Made of polycarbonate, it’s designed to allow light to flood the pitch from various angles. What’s more, it can also be retracted to keep the game going during unfavorable conditions.

The Hall of Fame

The stadium’s Hall of Fame celebrates the legacies of some of the most iconic players in Benfica history like Eusebio, Nani, and Rui Costa among several others. You get to learn about how each of these icons contributed to the club’s rich 120-year history.

The stands that seat 64,000+ roaring fans

The moment you step out among the stands, you’ll instantly feel chills down your spine as you imagine being surrounded by more than 64,000 fans cheering on for their favorite team. The panoramic views of the stands are only seconded by access to restricted areas like the locker rooms and the press conference room.

The Benfica Official Store

The Benfica Official Store is the club’s official merchandise shop from which you can pick up all kinds of wearables and souvenirs. From beanies to caps, jerseys to jackets, you’ll be spoilt for choice, especially if you’re a die-hard Benfica fan.
