Benfica v Belenenses to have fans, Eagles dodge closed-door tie | OneFootball

Benfica clarified, this Tuesday, one of the main doubts surrounding the friendly against Belenenses, scheduled for Friday at 6:00 pm. The club from Luz 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 aimed at members holding a Red Pass. From 3:00 pm onwards, the process will be extended to the remaining members, fans and the general public, allowing for a bigger turnout 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. The possibility was also considered 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 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 work and give minutes to the players who will not feature against St. Gallen this Thursday.
