Sport Lisboa e Benfica

Benfica Lisbon is historically the most successful Portuguese football club. Its official name is Sport Lisboa e Benfica. They have managed to dominate the domestic league in 37 seasons so far, with the last time being in the 2018/2019 edition. Like many other similar organizations, Benfica also participates in a number of other sports, but it is best known for its football side.

Of some interest is that Benfica Lisbon has the largest number of fans in Europe relative to the population of its home country. In fact, the club has over 230,000 registered members. Considering the great sporting performance, large numbers of loyal fans are nothing special. The team has also historically made a name for itself on the international stage.

The team's greatest legend is considered to be the famous Eusébio, who wore the Lisbon jersey in the 1960s and 1970s. He is also the club's all-time top scorer, having scored 317 goals in 301 matches. His exceptionalism is also confirmed by his winning the 1965 Ballon d'Or award, in addition to finishing second twice (1962 and 1966).
