SL Benfica History & Info
SL Benfica, known by many simply as Benfica, is a famous football club based in the Portuguese city of Lisbon. The club was founded as 'Sport Lisboa' back in 1904, shortly before the name was reverted to 'Sport Lisboa e Benfica'. The club was established by a group of young Portuguese sports enthusiasts as a sports and cultural club, but football quickly became its main activity.
Benfica are the most successful club in the history of football in Portugal, but they have failed to celebrate success in Europe for more than 60 years. As Águias (The Eagles) won back-to-back European Cups in 1961 & 1962 but they have since lost no fewer than eight European finals. Their most recent outings were in the Europa League final, losing to Chelsea in 2013 and then to Sevilla the following year.
Over the the years Benfica have consistently maintained a squad filled with both domestic and international stars. Eusébio da Silva Ferreira (Eusebio) is widely considered the greatest ever player to pull on the famous red shirt for Benfica.
In more recent times the likes of Rúben Dias, Bernardo Silva, João Cancelo, João Félix, and Gonçalo Ramos are just a few Portugal internationals who joined Benfica Juniores (youth teams) from young ages and flourished in the first-team before being prised away by some of Europe's leading clubs.
