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: one of the most exciting derbies in Europe, great weather, amazing restaurants and bars, and an unforgettable nightlife!
This versatile city is characterized by scenic views over the seven hills, narrow streets, authentic squares, and beautiful fountains. You will have the chance to discover the many cosy bars, restaurants, and terraces where you feel at home and where you can party until the early hours.
The city is home of 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 as elected by France Football one of the 30 with the best atmosphere in the world.
In this matchday experience, you will meet our English Speaking Local Host at “Colégio Militar / Luz” station. He will deliver your exclusive SL Benfica package and 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, scarfs and red smoke are all over the place. Before the bus arrives, they make a huge line to salute their heroes. What an experience!
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!
You have tickets in the best location of the stadium, so we will make sure you get in on time to use your exclusive discount at the SL Benfica Store, grab some food and drinks and get ready for the match!
After the match, our local host will say Goodbye to the Group, of course, recommend some amazing places to have the best food in Lisbon!
Meeting Point: Colégio Militar/Luz Station
Are you ready?
Homefans believe that stadiums will be open to fans, however we cannot at this stage confirm what the capacity will be. However our flexible booking policies mean that if the stadium will only accept 50% fans and you decide you only want to travel with 100% attendance you can swap to another venue or another date.
This will vary destination to destination and based on your nationality and age. Therefore Homefans are not able to advise on this. Please check the foreign ministry of your destination and home country and the stadium requirements. Again, if you find the requirements too much you can defer to later in the season/year when they relax further.
We believe so, we all need something to look forward to. But we understand that people may be apprehensive which is why we have created a flexible cancellation policy which means in the event that the event does not happen the amount paid simply becomes Homefans credit.
You can transfer this to a later date (with no time limit), transfer to another tour, or even give it to a friend. This flexibility also applies if you decide to cancel for any reason (as long as you give us 45 days notice)
If we know where you will be sitting we always mention this is in the inclusions section.
Unfortunately we are not always able to tell you that at the time of booking, however our destination managers work tirelessly to make sure you get the best seats. We always aim for the long side of the home supporters section.
The maximum number of people the host will allow is stated above. However this number may not always be met and it may even be possible that your party is on the tour on your own. Higher numbers make for a more sociable experience, lower numbers make for more personalised attention from your host. Look at it as a win/win!
If we can accept children there will be an option in the booking flow. However for many trips our local hosts take the decision, based on the content of the tour, to open this up to adults only. If you are looking to travel with under 18’s, please feel free to contact us and we can discuss your options.
Weekend matches can move from Saturday to Sunday and vice-versa. We provide the current scheduled date but we would advise you only to book the matchday experience if you are available in the destination for the whole weekend.
