It’s set: Benfica now know when next season’s fixtures are out | OneFootball

Liga Portugal announced this Tuesday that the draw for the professional championships will take place next Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Liga Portugal Arena, in Porto. Immediately afterwards, at 8 p.m., the Liga Portugal Awards will be held, the annual gala where various figures who stood out in national and international football over the course of the last season are honored.

The draw sets the official schedule for the season of professional competitions, namely the Liga Portugal Betclic and Liga Portugal 2. It is at this moment that all the matchdays of the season are revealed, although the final scheduling of dates and kick-off times may still be adjusted throughout the year, mainly due to television broadcasts and European competitions.

For Benfica, this moment is particularly relevant, as it immediately allows them to find out the order of their opponents in the League and the distribution of home and away matches, something important in managing the season under Marco Silva’s leadership.

The Liga Portugal Awards is an awards ceremony that recognizes the best of the season in various categories, from players and coaches to referees and other figures in Portuguese football. The gala serves as an official celebration of the sporting season, recognizing individual and collective performances. For clubs like Benfica, it is also a regular moment in the spotlight, with players and coaches often nominated or awarded due to the team’s competitive stature in domestic competitions.

With these two events, the draw and the gala, the start of the new professional football season in Portugal is officially marked, at a time when Benfica are preparing for the campaign with the aim of competing for the main domestic titles and remaining competitive in European competitions.
