((:(ɨ)ˈʃtaðju ðɐ ˈluʃ); Stadium of the Light), officially named , is a multi-purpose stadium located in Lisbon, Portugal. The stadium is used mostly for football matches, hosting the home matches of S.L. Benfica. It is also called (The Cathedral) by Benfica supporters. It was opened on 25 October 2003 with an exhibition match between Benfica and Nacional of Montevideo. The previous Estádio da Luz with 120,000 seats was demolished in 2003, and the new stadium was built with a maximum capacity of 65,647 (64,642 in Primeira Liga matches). HOK Sport Venue Event (now Populous) designed the stadium to use as much natural light as possible. The Estádio da Luz is a UEFA category four stadium and the twenty-first biggest stadium by capacity in Europe. It hosted several matches in the UEFA Euro 2004, including the final, and hosted the 2014 UEFA Champions League Final. In October 2014, it was elected as the most beautiful stadium of Europe, in an online poll by ''L'Équipe''. ==Naming== The old stadium was named in honour of the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Luz (Church of Our Lady of the Light), and the people of Lisbon used to call it ''a Luz'' ("the Light"), so the common name for the stadium became ''Estádio da Luz'', which is usually translated to English as "Stadium of Light". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Estádio da Luz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
