What we will do in this experience

Elected as the best city to be visited in 2018 by Lonely Planet, The New York Times, and other important magazines and newspapers around the world, Lisbon offers everything a football fan seeks for the weekend: some of the biggest Portuguese clubs, great weather, amazing restaurants and bars, and an unforgettable nightlife!

The city is home to the biggest club in the country: SL Benfica. It holds a record of more than 160.000 members, has a huge fan base (70% of Portugal) and its stadium was elected by France Football as one of the 30 with the best atmosphere in the world.

On this matchday experience, you will meet a local Benfica fan at the meeting point which will be shared with you upon booking. He will take you directly to the famous roulottes, a place where the fans get together to drink tons of beers and wait for the bus team to come up. Flags, scarves and red smoke are all over the place.

The Stadium is impressive and it was built to provide Benfica with a new and modern home and to serve as the playing venue for the Euro 2004 final. And of course, there is the eagle, a symbol of the club, who flies from the stands and lands in the club’s emblem in the middle of the pitch. One moment to never forget!

After the match, your local will say goodbye to the group and, of course, recommend some amazing places to have the best food in Lisbon! Are you ready?
