Stadium No.1: Estádio da Luz

This is the first of my 10 blog posts of football stadiums. For the first one, I have picked the stadium of my favorite football team in my native country, Portugal - S.L. Benfica.
Estádio da Luz
When S.L. Benfica planned a new stadium far away from the stadium of rivals Sporting Lisbon after Estádio do Campo Grande was planned for demolition in 1954, the fans were very pleased about it after becoming furious of the Campo Grande stadium.
PICTURE: The Estádio da Luz, dated from the 1990s prior to the renovations.

The stadium was renovated in 2002 to remove 90% of the materials because the stadium began to crumble, so S.L. Benfica decided to rebuild the stadium. Because of this Benfica moved to the national stadium of Portugal for a while. 

The stadium reopened in November 2003 and it has becomes a fan favourite from supporters. The stadium has hosted some of Portugal's matches.
