Benfica cleared up, this Tuesday, one of the main doubts surrounding the friendly against Belenenses, scheduled for Friday at 6:00 pm. The Luz club confirmed that the match will be open to the public and revealed when fans will be able to secure their place in the stands.

Ticket sales begin on Wednesday at 10:00 am, in an initial phase reserved for Red Pass-holding members. From 3:00 pm onwards, the process will be extended to the remaining members, fans and the general public, allowing for a bigger attendance at the warm-up match.

Benfica’s confirmation comes after Belenenses had announced that the game would be played behind closed doors, with live coverage on BTV, which raised doubts among fans. There was also the possibility that the Eagles could use this friendly to serve the punishment imposed by the Authority for the Prevention and Combat of Violence in Sport, a decision already confirmed by the Court of Appeal and with no possibility of appeal.

However, that scenario ultimately did not materialize. With the official announcement that the stands will be open, the Glorioso dispelled all uncertainty and confirmed that fans will be able to attend the Estádio da Luz to follow another test for the team coached by Marco Silva.

. The coaching staff intend to continue consolidating their processes and give minutes to the players who will not feature against St. Gallen this Thursday.
