Pedro Proença ‘to seek’ Benfica reconciliation for Seleção’s return to Luz | OneFootball

Pedro Proença wants to make peace with Benfica and see the Seleção back at Estádio da Luz, with relations between the club and the Portuguese federation currently strained. His stance follows Cristiano Ronaldo also expressing a wish to see the Seleção at the stadium again.

"They are three structures of excellence and we have to make the most of the 2030 World Cup," said the FPF president, referring to Luz, Dragão and Alvalade, speaking to RTP Notícias.

He also pointed to other grounds that could receive national teams during the tournament, including the Pedreira and Vitória’s ground, stressing their importance for Portuguese football.

Discussing the new era under Jorge Jesus, Proença said: "It is with Cristiano that we will start this cycle and he will always be part of our solution."

He described this as a new stage, citing Nations League titles and a refreshed philosophy at the federation. A reconciliation with Benfica could be among the first topics discussed.
