my club:
Sport Lisboa e Benfica (Benfica or SLB):
Founded in 1904 at a pharmacy in Lisbon.
the old "stadium of light" (as it's in lisbon's Estrada da Luz - luz = light):
127.000 people watch as Portugal defeats Brazil for the world u-21 cup (Roberto Carlos, Rui Costa and Figo are among the players that day):
After it's expansion in 1985, holding 120.000 people, it was the biggest in Europe. it was later reduced (adding chairs and a hole around the field) to 80.000.
the new one, founded in 2003, with capacity for 65.000:
the statue of Eusébio, arguably Benfica's best player ever:
Top scorer in World Cup 66 (England won), it took Salazar's influence to stop his transfer to Juventus or Inter Milan.
