Rui Costa will move forward with the expansion of Benfica Campus, located in Seixal. The project was presented to the president of the Seixal City Council, Paulo Silva, in a meeting where the Benfica leader detailed the development plans for the club’s Training Center and Quinta do Algarve, a 42-hectare plot acquired by the club in 2019.

According to the mayor, "The Municipality will continue to collaborate with all entities that promote the sporting, social, and educational development of the municipality. The goal is to value sports as a factor of inclusion, education, and social cohesion", maintaining a partnership with the club.

The Benfica Training and Development Center already has a significant impact on the region, creating around 200 jobs and putting Seixal on the international map. The expansion aims to further strengthen this role, combining sports development with social benefits for the local population.

It is worth remembering that the Benfica Campus was inaugurated in 2006, during the presidency of Luís Filipe Vieira, and has already produced elite players such as Bernardo Silva, Rubén Dias, João Cancelo, João Neves, Gonçalo Ramos, among others.

The expansion of the training center is one of the projects Rui Costa wants to carry out in his new presidential term, following the inauguration of the 1904 Benfica Hotel, the creation of Benfica FM, and the Benfica District project, which has already been approved by the members.
