Benfica are one of the biggest clubs in the world and record 38-time Portuguese league winners and two-time European Cup winners. They play at the 65,000 capacity Estadio de Luz.

Benfica have boasted some of the world’s best players such as Eusebio, David Luiz, Simao, Ederson, Pablo Aimar, Darwin Nunez, Angel di Maria and Bernardo Silva.

Tickets to watch Benfica cost anywhere between €20 and €90. Members (or Socios) will spend between €15 and €50 per ticket - membership itself costs €20.

THE PROCESS

• All tickets are sold via https://www.slbenfica.pt/en-us/loja/bilhetes/futebol-modalidades. Clicking on the game you want to attend takes you to a stadium map accompanied by pricing for available seating. You can choose your seat(s) and proceed to payment.

• Tickets are also usually available on the day of the game, unless it is a rival fixture or big cup game. The cheaper tickets are quickest to sell out.

• Season ticket holders and members take priority for games and the public sale usually opens up about 10 days to one week before the fixture.

• If you miss buying tickets when they first become available online, there’s still the opportunity of going to the box office outside the stadium, including on matchdays. The Benfica store is generally open from 9am to 9pm, though it opens later on matchdays (10am) and closes at the end of the first half.

• You will be asked to supply your name and passport number to purchase the ticket - you should carry ID with you on matchdays as well in case it's needed to access the stadium.

• If you’re willing to stump up the cash, corporate hospitality options are available here. You need to enquire by phone (+351 932 401 904) or email (linhabenfica@slbenfica.pt).

Both Lisbon’s stadiums were built ahead of Euro 2004, with the 64,400 capacity Estadio da Luz hosting the final. Its modern design means you get a tremendous atmosphere with a great view wherever you are in the stadium.

There are a couple of sections to note:

• The ultras sit in Sector 3 of the South Stand behind the goal known as Topo Sul, although there's a good atmosphere at the other end of the stadium in the North Stand as well.

• Away fans sit in the north-east corner of the ground.

• Executive seat are clustered around the halfway line on Level 1 of the seating, but general sales seats are also available in both central upper and lower stands.

• Family-friendlier seating tends to be in the upper stands on either side of the ground

Sporting was home to Cristiano Ronaldo before his move to Manchester United and they have been crowned Portuguese champions 20 times. They have also boasted other greats such as Luis Figo, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Moutinho, Nani and more.

The Estádio José Alvalade stadium is named after the club's founder and first club member and was built adjacent to Sporting's original home for Euro 2004. It was the friendly between Sporting and Manchester United to mark the stadium's opening in 2003 that set in motion Ronaldo's move to Old Trafford. The stadium is part of a complex that in all honesty has seen better days.

Tickets to watch Sporting start at around €20 for a seat behind the goals, with seats in the stands along the pitch costing between €25 and €50 depending on location (stands are divided into lower and upper tiers). For the local derby, the visit of Porto and any big European nights, prices increase by about €10-15 in each category.

THE PROCESS

• All tickets are sold via the official website - https://www.sporting.pt/en/tickets-and-gamebox/tickets#tipo_bilhete - or via the MeuSporting app

• The site gives you the option to enter membership details, though this isn't essential for most matches.

• You'll then get the option to select a tier ('close to the pitch' - lower tier, or 'far from the pitch' - upper tier) or a specific block if you know exactly where you want to sit. If you're not sure, the next purchase screen has further options for 'central', 'corners', or 'behind the goal' with associated pricing.

• From there you can pick a block and a seat from what's available and proceed to payment.

• If you’re willing to stump up the cash, corporate hospitality options are available but these are usually sold as bigger packages and not for one or two tickets.

Tickets often go on sale about a week or two before the fixture as kick off times. Tickets are usually available on the day of the game, unless it is a rival fixture or big cup game. The cheaper tickets are quickest to sell out.

Season ticket holders and members take priority for games where tickets are in high demand.

If you miss buying tickets when they first become available, there’s still the opportunity of going to the box office outside the stadium. The ticket office is located by gate 3 and is open from 10am until 8pm Monday to Friday, and on match days from 10am.

The modern 50,000 seater stadium Estadio Jose Avalade opened in 2003 and is similar bowl to many of Europe’s top stadia. Where to sit is mainly a matter of preference – sitting with the die-hard fans behind the goal or with a better view on the side.

There are a few sections to note:

• The ultras sit in the south stand behind the goal, in sections A10, A12, A14, A16 and A18.

• Away fans sit in the north-west corner of the ground. They sit in A9, and can be extended to A7, A11, B7, B11 and B13 depending on the allocation size.

Combined stadium and museum tours cost €20.90 for non-member adults (13+) and €19.90 for children aged 5-12 and seniors. Museum-only tickets are slightly cheaper.

Tickets must be purchased or vouchers exchanged for the stadium tour 15 minutes in advance in the VIP Hall of the José Alvalade Stadium, accessed via Door 1/ VIP Hall or Door B, floor 0. The visit begins in the VIP Hall and covers the famous Gate 10A, which separated the dressing rooms from the exterior in the former stadium, the away dressing room, pitch-side access, the press conference rooms and the president's suite.

Combining the tour offers the best value and the recently-revamped museum has a permanent exhibition of trophies and insights into the club’s history since its foundation, in 1906.

Tours run every day at 11am, 12pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm and 5pm, but don't tend to run on European or international matchdays, and on the day before these fixtures, only run at 11am and 12pm.

Tours do not require booking, except groups: email tours@sporting.pt from Monday to Friday to arrange.
