Benfica's home ground, the magnificent Estádio da Luz (officially named Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica) in Lisbon, is special due to its massive 64,000+ seating capacity, striking modern architectural design, and incredible acoustics that generate an intimidating atmosphere for visiting opponents. A unique tradition associated with the stadium involves releasing live eagles—the club's beloved symbols—to fly across the pitch before every home match kickoff.
