On our tour of Portugal through winter 23, we stopped off at wonderful Lisboa. This is one of the highlights of the stay. #lisbon #lisboa #benfica #vanlife
@@franandmarts Please note that the best game exprience might be on Sagres floor 0 or 3, it's better NOT TO film in this sector, IF you film WE askthat you at least put some blur on people's faces in THESE SECTORs, due to the respect for the other supporters who are always present there, besides, in any stand you will feel the strength of benfica, but that place is what has a special touch. 🙏👋
Welcome to our home. The old one had 120k, also seated but without chairs. Some games surpassed the 120k quite substatially though, hitting 130k/140k... It was something truly mystic. With chairs it still had more than 90k. It was the biggest stadium in Europe alongside Camp Nou at the time.
15:19 - those are probably roller hockey trophies, because SL Benfica has no ice hockey team. And the previous SL Benfica stadium had capacity for 120 000 people. Glad you enjoyed the visit.
@@franandmarts SL Benfica, like many clubs in Portugal, is multisports, it's involved in circa 30 sports, in both genders and several age levels, so the high number of trophies and titles.
Correction, the former Benfica stadium of light, could take up to 130.000 people, and was the biggest stadium ever detained by a club. Maracanã 200.000, now less, is a municipal stadium. Cheers, oh, and we call Stadium of light/luz, the Cathedral, since Benfica is not a club, but a religion
That's trophy has been for years behind the stand, getting dust. It was a huge work from the museum staff of benfica to restore them and display has they are now. Thank you for sharing this .
Hi Mosquito, the trophies were very impressive, the display was out of this world, we have never seen so many. Such a good tour to do, well worth the visit.
YES MATE!! you made a video whit very quality , am a portuguese citizen who live in England ( KING'S LYNN, NORFOLK) and SON of a BENFICA legend and a national portuguese time as well, he was a BENFICA goalkeeper for many years and play the final of CUP OF CHAMPIONS in 1968 against M. UNITED in Wembley, his name JOSÉ HENRIQUE ( Nick name, CAT JOSÉ) and am apreciated your vídeo, you have the vision of one finalist of that champions league season. thanks for the video mate
Hello from Nottingham, you visited my stadium. The oldest has a capacity for 120k all sitting but concrete, not chairs. Unfortunately, this one is a lot more pretty, but it doesn't allow the same capacity. With 47 years old, I had the privilege to watch matches in the old one, and this one now and the spirit is the same, but 120000 singing the name of Benfica is something I will never forget. Cheers for making this tour and sharing with us
I can hear the passion in your comment. I can only imagine what that would have been like. The passion in Portugal got under our skin, and we fell in love with it. BTW, We have spent a lot of time in Nottingham, my son lives there and I (Martin) used to work there. City is great for a night our.
In the old stadium, there were no seats but stepping stones where people would seat, so in it's full capacity it was capable of receiving 120.000 people, all seated. It was an unbelievable experience and the roar of the crowd cheering for Benfica was something out of this world, specially when all the people on the "terceiro anel" would stump their feet at the same time. It was the biggest stadium in Europe and the third in the World. What was even more amazing is that the first stadium was built by the associates and fans of Benfica themselves who contributed with man hours and materials, without any external financing at all.
Great video. Glad you enjoyed the tour and stadium. This club is massive. Been a supporter almost 50yrs. The old stadium was crazy. 120,000 people packed in. You didn’t recognize our king. Rei Eusebio.(statue outside) The best player every in the history of Benfica and portugal. Only Ronaldo can probably say he’s better as a national team player. But for me Eusebio is 1st 🎉
Thanks for the super comment, we learned about your most love son, Eusebio, as we toured around your impressive stadium. And how The Black Panther scored 727 goals for you. I can see why he is so loved. The old stadium must have been a crazy place on match day. Even with no fans in the stadium we could feel the passion, a passion we felt at other places in Portugal. We loved to visit and taste your country and we will be back, hopefully catch a game too.
Hi, no sorry, we aren’t up on the players unfortunately, we just wanted to visit the stadium and wow it certainly left an impression, such a large club.
Great video! A pity you didn´t catch a game though, especially at night time. The Champions League game of yesterday would have been something you´d really enjoy.
Glad you liked it, I just can't believe you don't know the GREAT Eusébio, The Black Panther, one of the BEST of all time. The statue "out there" is his and it is the same one who spoke to you as a hologram.
Very nice video and hoped you liked to visit the stadium and museum of my club ❤️ The eagle statue of stone that appeared in 7:10 was a present of many clubs to Benfica in 1954, year of our 50th anniversary. Hope someone you come back and watch a game of our team Cheers from a Benfiquista 🔴⚪🦅
You could said a word about Eusébio. You stood in front of his statute. I'm just surprised because you're not great football supporters being English. Thank you anyway for posting it
Benfica supporters wish you the best 🇪🇺👋
Sporting fans also! Welcome to Portugal! Welcome to our football! 💪
Thank you so much, you have an amazing club.
Thank you. We will be back. Hope to catch a game then too.

I'm a benfica fan , I'm living outside the country for 10 years and I did feel the ghost bumps when you showed the tunnel .
*goosebumps
Wow, what a place
Hi Sharon , it was such a fantastic stadium, such a good day out.

Amazing history for a huge club.

Hi Antonio, we were very impressed with the stadium tour. I don’t think I have ever seen so many trophies 🏆 they just went on & on & on……,,

At the museum there's a mini cinema with a very emotional movie of Benfica's history.
We loved that. Copyright stopped us using it. Enjoyed all of the visit.
Obrigado, por visitar o nosso grande Benfica.
Thank you for having us. We loved it.

I can only imagine. We felt the passion in the lift screenings, roar of the crowd and passion in their faces and hearts. Loved it.
ESTÁDIO DA LUZ 💪🤍❤🦅

@@franandmarts só há um estádio da luz (nome oficial) e fica em Lisboa-Portugal, o resto são imitações/inspirações

Was a great day
Espetáculo 👏👏👏
I can see you did not recognise the statue of Eusebio, the best Benfica player, very famous throughout Europe, mainly, in the 60s and part of the 70s.
Hi, no sorry, we aren’t up on the players unfortunately, we just wanted to visit the stadium and wow it certainly left an impression, such a large club.
Great video! A pity you didn´t catch a game though, especially at night time. The Champions League game of yesterday would have been something you´d really enjoy.
Thank you for your comment. We had a great day there, couldn’t believe how big the stadium is, it was very impressive.

Hi Nando, we had a fantastic day, thank you.
Glad you liked it, I just can't believe you don't know the GREAT Eusébio, The Black Panther, one of the BEST of all time. The statue "out there" is his and it is the same one who spoke to you as a hologram.
We didn’t know Nuno, but that’s the point of visiting and talking to you guys, we certainly know him now, your favourite son.
Very nice video and hoped you liked to visit the stadium and museum of my club ❤️
The eagle statue of stone that appeared in 7:10 was a present of many clubs to Benfica in 1954, year of our 50th anniversary.
Hope someone you come back and watch a game of our team
Cheers from a Benfiquista 🔴⚪🦅
We loved it, We could feel the passion. Everything, including the eagle, was so impressive. A proper giant club.
You should watch a game (at night)!! It's magical! Trust me!!!
That would be epic
You could said a word about Eusébio. You stood in front of his statute. I'm just surprised because you're not great football supporters being English. Thank you anyway for posting it
