Football
Lisboêtas
are mad about football. It's hardly surprising given that the capital is home to
two of Portugal's 'big three' clubs - SL Benfica and Sporting Clube de Portugal.
The season runs from September to mid-June, with most league matches on Sunday;
check details in the papers (especially

office. Tickets cost about €23 to €55 at the stadium on match day or, for higher prices, at
the ABEP ticket agency (
