What to expect from the Estadio da Luz crowd?

Benfica’s stadium is one of the most iconic venues in all of football. Fans come from across the continent to pay this stadium a visit. They aren’t disappointed as there is always an amazing atmosphere no matter who the opposition may be. What’s even more is that if it is a derby day, the fans take things to a whole other level.

There is a main supporters group for the team, as well as being certain subsections, most notably the Diabos Vermelhos and the No Name Boys. The former usually sit in the north corner of the stadium while the latter will sit in the south corner.

The fans are very welcoming of away fans, so you will feel right at home in this amazing stadium.

The stadium of light might have been the inspiration for Arsenal’s Emirates stadium, but there is no mistaking the two stadiums when the ball is kicked off. The atmosphere at Benfica’s games is legendary and even a fairweather fan will get caught up in the excitement. With songs and chants being belted out from start to finish and flares and flags flying proudly, watching a game here is an experience to be remembered.
