The
Estádio da Luz in
Lisbon,
Portugal, is the home stadium of the
association football club
S.L. Benfica. The stadium, which has a capacity of 65,400, opened in
October 2003, and has hosted several major games, including the final of the
2004 European Championship. The name translates to "Stadium of Light", a common theme in
Portuguese Catholicism. It replaced an older, larger stadium, also called
Estádio da Luz.
