1. Access
Access to the Sport Lisboa e Benfica Stadium is free of barriers, steps and ramps higher than 1:20.
Wheelchair users enter the stadium through adapted turnstiles located at 12 doors: 2 in the Mais
Vantagens Stand (North), 4 in the Emirates Stand (West) , 4 in the BTV Stand
(East) and 2 in the
Sagres Stand (South).
2. Seats available for supporters in wheelchairs
The Sport Lisboa e Benfica Stadium has a total of 72 seats for wheelchair users with an adjacent
seat for their companion (platforms for People with Reduced Mobility - PMR). The seats are located
on Level 0, at the top of each stand.
3. Visually impaired fans
All the seats in the stadium are available for visually impaired fans, so that they can freely
choose their seat with their family and friends. However, it is our intention to provide them with a
specific area on Floor O, next to the platforms for Supporters with Reduced Mobility with easy
access if they are accompanied by guide dogs.
4. Guide dogs
Guide dogs will be authorized by prior agreement between the Supporter and SL Benfica. In order to
provide sufficient space and comfort for guide dogs, they will be placed exclusively in the
wheelchair platform area on Floor O of each stand.
5. Fans with hearing difficulties
If a hearing-impaired Supporter has specific needs regarding their place to watch the match (a
certain area, sector or row) they can contact SL Benfica to discuss this possibility. The contact
can also be made by a companion. SL Benfica will make every effort to meet the requirements,
depending on the availability and characteristics of the seats.
