The Eagles maintain a fierce rivalry with Porto and Sporting in the Primeira Liga, consistently challenging for domestic honours while also competing in European competitions. The club continues its reputation for developing world-class talent through its renowned Seixal academy, with promising youngsters regularly breaking into the first team and often attracting interest from Europe's elite clubs.
Benfica's passionate supporters, known as Benfiquistas, maintain unwavering loyalty to their club, with the famous red jersey representing more than just football but a cultural institution in Portugal. The club's anthem "Ser Benfiquista" echoes through the stands at every home match, where attendance regularly exceeds 60,000 fans creating one of football's most electrifying atmospheres.
Founded in 1904, Benfica's rich history includes legendary figures such as Eusébio, widely regarded as one of football's greatest ever players.
