Benfica Lisbon vs Fenerbahçe tickets Eusébio Cup

The Eusébio Cup opened its 2025 edition at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon on Saturday, July 26th, 2025 at 8.30pm, with Benfica welcoming Fenerbahçe to launch the entire tournament. This was the very first match on the schedule, a summer meeting between the Lisbon hosts and the visitors from Istanbul inside a 65,647-seat ground, one of Portugal's largest arenas. The two clubs would go on to cross paths again that same season in the Champions League preliminary round, sharing a goalless draw in Istanbul and a 1-0 Benfica win in Lisbon, which lent this early July encounter an unexpected significance. Served by the metro at Colégio Militar/Luz and Alto dos Moinhos, plus bus routes 750 and 768, the Estádio da Luz made a fitting stage for the fixture that got the competition under way.
