The final of the Portuguese Women's Cup is now set and will pit Benfica against Porto. According to the official statement released this Tuesday by the Portuguese Football Federation, the decisive match will be played on May 17, a Sunday, at 5:15 pm, at the Jamor National Stadium.

The side coached by Ivan Baptista reaches this stage as one of the benchmarks of women’s football in Portugal, having recently won back-to-back league titles. The Reds are once again in contention for silverware and are looking to end the season with another trophy.

On the other side will be a growing Porto side, which secured promotion to the Liga BPI and comes into the final full of ambition. Even so, recent history and competitive consistency make Benfica one of the most experienced teams in this kind of match.

In addition to the prestige of the trophy and the country’s top cup competition, this match also represents a symbolic moment for Portuguese football, with two major clubs starring in an unprecedented women’s final that is expected to attract the attention of fans and the media across the country.

On the afternoon of last Saturday, April 25, the Reds did exactly what Ivan Baptista wanted and gave Braga no chance at all. In a Matchday 16 Liga BPI fixture, the Inspiradoras beat the Minhotas 3-1. Nycole Raysla, Diana Silva and Carole Costa scored the goals.
