Sport Lisabona e Benfica commonly known as Benfica is a Portuguese multi-sport club best known for its professional football team that plays in the Primera Liga.<\/p>\n

In 1904, February 28, a group of former students of Real Casa Pia de Lisabona asociacao de Bem met with the goal of creating a social and cultural football club that will be called Sport Lisboa. Among the 24 people that were attending the meeting were Cosme Damiao, future soul of the club, Jose Rosa Rodrigues, the club\u2019s first president, along with Daniel Brito as secretary and Manuel Gourlade as treasurer. They decided that the club\u2019s colours would be red for bravery, white for peace, an eagle on the crest symbolizing high aspiration and the motto \u201cE pluribus unum\u201d – \u201cout of many, one\u201d<\/p>\n

The 1960\u2019s were the best period in the club\u2019s history in which Benfica won eight Primera Liga, three Taca de Portugal and led by manager Bela Guttmann were the first team to break Real Madrid\u2019s dominance in the European Champions Club Cup by winning two consecutive European Cups, the first one against Barcelona in 1961 and the second one against Real Madrid in 1962. During this decade Benfica has been ranked first in European football.<\/p>\n
