Benfica is the absolute record champion of Portugal. Since its founding in 1904, the club has won the national championship 38 times. Another special statistic: Benfica has finished outside the top three only three times since 1946. In addition, Benfica also took the European top prize in 1961 and 1962.
Benfica is not only known as a top club in Portugal, O Glorioso also boasts a good youth academy. Many top athletes – like Ángel Di María, Joao Felix and Jan Oblak, just to name a few – graduated from Benfica.
O Classico
Benfica’s biggest rival is FC Porto. The derby match between these two is called O Clássico. The rivalry originated because Lisbon (Benfica) and Porto (FC Porto) were the two biggest cities in Portugal.
Benfica and FC Porto are both part of the big three of the Portuguese league. This also includes Sporting Clube de Portugal. Most years the championship is won by one of these three clubs.
The original Estádio da Luz opened in 1954, but for the 2004 European Football Championship, the stadium was completely rebuilt. Since then, Benfica’s home ground has been a true football temple. As many as 65,000 fans can fit into this stadium located just outside Lisbon.
