Buy Benfica Football Kit
One of Portugal’s leading clubs,
Benfica are one of Europe’s most famous teams with a proud history both
domestically and in European competition. Benfica jerseys are our bestselling
team from Portugal, narrowly pipping bitter rivals FC Porto and Sporting
Lisbon. We sell a wide range of Benfica kits and clothing, including polo
shirts, tracksuits, jackets and t-shirts for adult men, women and kids.
The best supported club in the
country, Benfica were formed in 1904 and play their home matches at the Estadio
da Luz, which was built for the Euro 2004 tournament which Portugal hosted. The
club have an estimated fan base of approximately 14 million supporters around
the world, which explains why at UKSoccershop they is a consistently high
demand for official Benfica merchandise and soccer clothing. Each year, we look
to increase the range of products we have available.
Benfica are the most successful
club in Portugal domestically and have also won two European Cups – in 1961 and
1962. Their most famous player is the legendary striker Eusebio, who inspired
the club to their European trophies and is their all-time leading goalscorer.
Even with the emergence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Eusebio remains arguably the most
iconic Portuguese star of all time.
Official Adidas Benfica Home & Away Shirts
Benfica play in distinctive red
home shirts, which are completed with red shorts and white socks. The club’s
crest features an eagle and the club’s initials S.L.B. At UKSoccershop, you can
customise your Benfica jersey by adding official shirt printing. You can choose
your own name and number, or any of the players to have played for Benfica –
both current stars and legends such as Eusebio.
Throughout the years, the club
have worn a number of different coloured away shirts. One of the most memorable
was in 2002-2003, when they wore a gold strip which was one of our best selling
Benfica away kits since we started trading. White has also been a commonly used
colour, but in recent years, darker colours such as black have proven to be
very popular choices as the alternate kit.
Benfica Football Shirt History
The first commercial Benfica
soccer jerseys were manufactured in 1977. Until then, supporters had not been
able to buy the official replica kit, but that is a far cry from today when the
jerseys are available in every size you can think of! The first kit partnership was with Benfica
and lasted for 13 seasons between 1977 and 1990, before Hummel took over the
contract in 1990.
During this period, they had a
number of sponsors, the most notable of whom was Shell. In 1994, the club
changed both shirt and kit partnerships once again with Olympic manufacturing
the shirts until 1997 when Adidas regained the contract. In 2001-02, Vodafone
began their sponsorship of the kits before being replaced by Portugal Telecom
(PT) in 2005.
Adidas have been the primary
partners of the Benfica jerseys. In 2014, they extended their previous ten year
partnership through until the end of the 2020-2021 season. The following year,
the club signed their most lucrative sponsorship deal to date with Emirates
signing a 3 year deal worth 30 million Euros which would last until 2018.

such a wide supporter base, there is a huge demand for replica kit and
