Francisco Benítez, the candidate for the presidency of Benfica, realized that Estádio da Luz needed a deep renewal and revealed what he intends to do.

“The old rooftop had no chairs. We know fans don’t usually sit at the tops, so we can remove the chairs and watch the match standing up. Something they usually do already. We have the best inside the stadium, where electronic boards are from digital prehistoric times Put lights on the surrounding seats Increase the comfort of the chairs, which were once red and now pink Create an infrastructure that makes everything more profitable with LED screens to display ads and increase revenue Benfica,” the leader explained in statements to Benfica TV.

Benitez is also betting on improvements in other areas: “The metro line is expanding nearby and we want to work with the metro to create an exhibition that connects to the Benfica complex, which may have restaurants and members can use this exhibition. It can also be used to explore the Luz parking lot, which is not used during the week. You can come from IC19, leave your car in the parking lot, take the exhibition and go to the metro. »

Changes around the venue: “Estádio da Luz is a bit in the pocket between two highways and this should be changed to provide more comfort to members. We also want to change things up that bring in more recipes. The naming of the stadium must always pass through a general meeting of members and not 100 people. To make a difficult decision like changing the name of Estádio da Luz, you always have to get great approval from the partners.”

Other infrastructure improvements: “We have to increase Seixal to have more teams. Hotels and universities don’t think so. Seixal will be increased the more justified for the athletes to have better training conditions and more wins.”
