((:(ɨ)ˈʃtadiu dɐ ˈluʒ), Stadium of the Light), officially named , was a multi-purpose stadium located in Lisbon, Portugal. It was used mostly for football matches and hosted the home matches of S.L. Benfica. The stadium was opened on 1 December 1954 and it was able to hold an official maximum of 120,000 people, making it the largest stadium in Europe and the third largest in the world in terms of capacity. Some of the biggest attendances include a game against FC Porto with 135,000 people, the 1989–90 European Cup semi-final against Olympique de Marseille and the 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship final between Portugal and Brazil with 127,000 people in each game. It also hosted the second leg of the 1983 UEFA Cup Final and the 1992 European Cup Winners' Cup Final. Its demolition started in 2002 so the new Estádio da Luz could be built. ==Background== Since the club's formation, in 1904, Benfica had played mostly in rented fields, such as Terras do Desembargador (1905–1906), the Campo da Feiteira (1908–1911), the Campo de Sete Rios (1913–1917), the Campo de Benfica (1917–1922), and the Estádio do Campo Grande, built on land rented from historic rivals Sporting (1941–1954). The Estádio das Amoreiras, a 20,000-capacity football stadium, belonged to the club, but was demolished to give way to a freeway (1925–1940).〔''A Luz não se apaga'', Prefácio, Prime Books, 2003 (ISBN 972-8820-07-0)〕〔Sport Lisboa e Benfica 100 gloriosos anos - A História 1, Edição e Conteúdos, S.A., 2003 (ISBN 989-554-099-X)〕 After a long process of negotiation with the municipality of Lisbon, it was finally established, on 17 May 1946, that the club would leave the rented stadium and move back to the Benfica neighbourhood. At the end of the meeting where this was established, the then Minister of Public Works is quoted as saying: "Benfica is from Benfica and that's where it should return to".〔Sport Lisboa e Benfica 100 gloriosos anos - A História 1, pp.84, Edição e Conteúdos, S.A., 2003 (ISBN 989-554-099-X)〕 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 (1954)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
