Who are They

My club J The other Lisbon club from the Portuguese Big Three and the only one to have won the Cup Winners Cup. Usually known in Europe as Sporting Lisbon, their official name is Sporting Clube de Portugal.

Stadium

Sporting plays at the new Estádio José de Alvalade, named after the founder of the club. This very colourful stadium was built for Euro 2004 and holds 50.000 spectators. One of the it's faetures is that all seats are arranged in a random color mix to give an illusion that the stadium is always full.
