Attention! League confirms Benfica v Académico de Viseu | OneFootball

Benfica now knows all the details of its Liga Betclic debut. Liga Portugal has confirmed that the team coached by Marco Silva will host Académico de Viseu on August 9, in a match scheduled for 8:30 pm, marking the Reds’ official start to the league campaign.

The match against the Viriatos - which is expected to be played behind closed doors - will take place at the same time as the meeting between Moreirense and Braga, since both clubs involved remain focused on the qualifying rounds for the European competitions. The League’s decision allows the schedule to remain aligned with international demands.

In addition to the confirmation of the Reds’ opener, two kick-off times for the second round of Liga Betclic have also been set. Arouca will host Moreirense on August 16 at 6:00 pm, while Famalicão will face Marítimo on the same day at 8:30 pm.

Meanwhile, the matches Braga v Gil Vicente and Casa Pia v Benfica, corresponding to the second round of the competition, still do not have a definitive schedule, as they remain dependent on the progress of the teams involved in their European commitments.

There have also been changes in Liga Meu Super. The match between Benfica B and Leixões has been postponed by one day and will now take place on August 10 at 6:00 pm, in what will also be the Reds’ reserve team’s debut in the new season.
