Ahead of Thursday’s first UEFA Women’s Champions League away game of the season, find out more about Benfica.
It’s an 8pm kick-off at Estadio da Luz as we look for our first win in Europe this season.
A RAPID RISE
Benfica were only founded in 2017, making their array of achievements in the short time since then even more remarkable. They now play in the Campeonato Nacional Feminino, the highest level of women’s football in Portugal, after being promoted to it in 2018/19.
They’ve won five consecutive First Division titles, one Second Division title, two Portuguese cups, a record five League Cups and a joint record three Super Cups.
