Opened on 25 October 2003 with an exhibition match between Benfica and Uruguayan club Nacional, it replaced the original Estádio da Luz, which had 120,000 seats. The seating capacity was decreased to 65,647[3][4] and is currently set at 64,642.[5] The stadium was designed by HOK Sport Venue Event and had a construction cost of €162 million.[2]
A UEFA category four stadium and one of the biggest stadiums by capacity in Europe (the biggest in Portugal), Estádio da Luz hosted several matches of the UEFA Euro 2004, including its final, as well as the 2014 and 2020 finals of the UEFA Champions League. It was elected the most beautiful stadium of Europe in a 2014 online poll by L'Équipe.[6][7][8] By its fifteenth birthday, Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica Luz had welcomed more than 17 million spectators.[9]
Naming
While the previous Benfica stadium was also officially named "Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica", both the old and the new stadia are invariably referred to by their unofficial name, Estádio da Luz. Luz is the name of the neighborhood the stadium was built on, on the border between the parishes of Benfica and Carnide, which itself derives its name from the nearby Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Luz (Church of Our Lady of Light). This unofficial name caught on soon after the original stadium's construction;[10] the people of Lisbon used to simply call it a Luz ("the Light"). Therefore, the stadium's common name became "Estádio da Luz", which is usually anglicised to "Stadium of Light".[11] This translation, however, could be argued to be inaccurate, since Luz refers not to "light" but to the original address of the stadium: Estrada da Luz ("Road of Light").[12][13] Like its predecessor, the current stadium is also referred to as a Catedral (the Cathedral) or as o Inferno da Luz.[14]
Characteristics
Architect Damon Lavelle,[15] from HOK Sport Venue Event (now Populous), designed the stadium to focus on light and transparency. Its polycarbonate roof allows the sunlight to penetrate the stadium in order to illuminate it. The roof, which is supported by tie-beams of four steel arches, seems to float on the underlying tribunes. The arches are 43 metres (141 feet) high and help define the look of the stadium, after having been shaped to be similar to the wavy profile of its three tiers.

[de] Estádio da Luz
Das Estádio da Luz (deutsch Stadion des Lichts) ist ein Fußballstadion in der Gemeinde São Domingos de Benfica der portugiesischen Hauptstadt Lissabon. Die Anlage ist im Besitz des Fußballvereins Benfica Lissabon (Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica). Das Fußballstadion wurde von Damon Lavelle vom Architektenbüro Populous als Stadion der Zukunft sowie heute als Vorbild für viele Fußballstadien einer Euro- und Weltmeisterschaft gebaut. Bei Fußballspielen auf nationaler und Internationaler Ebene fasst die Sitzplatzarena 65.647 Zuschauer. Sie dient auch als Veranstaltungsort für Konzerte. Bei Konzerten und Fußballspielen kann die Zuschauerkapazität, je nach Art der Veranstaltung mit Zuschauern im Innenraum auf 82.000 gesteigert werden. 2018 gab Benfica Lissabon bekannt, das Stadion zu expandieren und die Anzahl der Sitzplätze mit neuen Sitzplätzen auf 80.000 zu erhöhen. Der Grund dafür ist, dass viele Mitglieder des Vereins mehr Sitze als je zuvor haben wollen. 2020 bestätigte der ursprüngliche Architekt des Stadions, dass der Verein in der Saison 2020/21 auf 80.000 Sitzplätze erhöht wird.[1][2] Aufgrund des Guttmann-Fluch wird das Estádio da Luz von vielen Fans und Medien auch als Hexenkessel bezeichnet.- [en] Estádio da Luz
