Est\u00e1dio da Luz, officially named Est\u00e1dio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, was built to provide Benfica with a new and modern home, and to serve as the playing venue for the Euro 2004<\/a> final.<\/p>\n Est\u00e1dio da Luz got built in place of the old Est\u00e1dio da Luz<\/a>. Construction works started in 2002, and in March 2003 Benfica played their last game at the partly demolished old stadium.<\/p>\n The new stadium opened on 25 October 2003 with a match between Benfica and Uruguayan side Club Nacional (2-1).<\/p>\n During the Euro 2004 Championships, Estadio da Luz hosted three group matches, the quarter-final between Portugal and England (2-2), and the final between Greece and Portugal (1-0).<\/p>\n In 2014, the stadium hosted the\u00a0Champions League final<\/a> between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid (4-1). It was once more the host of a Champions League final in 2020, when the game got moved from Ataturk Olympic Stadium<\/a> due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-German 1-0 to win the match.<\/p>\n Estadio da Luz is located in the north of Lisbon at almost 8 kilometres north of Lisbon\u2019s city centre and not far away from Lisbon\u2019s other major stadium, Est\u00e1dio Jos\u00e9 Alvalade<\/a>.<\/p>\n The stadium lies adjacent to the E1 (Av. General Norton de Matos) motorway. Take the exit toward Benfica. The stadium is clearly visible from the motorway and signposted coming from the east.<\/p>\n If using public transport, Est\u00e1dio da Luz can be reached with the blue metro<\/a> line. The blue line can be boarded at several stations in Lisbon\u2019s city centre, e.g. at Baixa-Chiado.
