Description

Benfica is planning to build a new stadium with a capacity of 120,000 seats, which would be the largest football ground in Europe. The project includes a dramatic four-tier structure designed by architecture firms Populous and Saraiva + Associados. It is part of a larger development called the 'Benfica District' that will also feature a 10,000-seat indoor arena, sports halls, a rooftop pitch, theatre, swimming pool, and a large fan plaza with restaurants, retail, and open public space. The new stadium aims to reclaim the legacy of the original Estádio da Luz, which once held over 120,000 spectators before its demolition in 2003.
