The Sporting women's volleyball team lost to Benfica 3-0 this Saturday, October 4th, and was unable to win the Super Cup in the sport. The green and whites – who were last year's Cup winners – were defeated by the team led by Henrique Furtado.

In a match held at the Estremoz Municipal Pavilion, the Lionesses were defeated with set scores of (25-21), (25-14), and (29-18). With this loss to their eternal rival, Sporting still has yet to win the competition, which they have never lifted in their entire history.
