Who are They

One of the leading multi-sports clubs in Portugal. They are with Boavista the only two clubs that have won the Portuguese League along with the Big Three.

Stadium

Belenenses play at the 20.000 capacity Estádio do Restelo in Belém. A traditional stadium opened in 1956 that has been improved in the last years being all seated. The only stand that is not covered is the south stand which allows a fantastic view over the Tagus River and the 25 of Abril Bridge. A great day out in a sunny afternoon.
