It is with great joy that I congratulate our women's handball team for their victory this Sunday in the final of the Portuguese Cup.

After having brilliantly won the National Championship, 29 years later, our athletes, the coaching staff and all the support staff are again to be congratulated for having managed to win the Portuguese Cup, a trophy that had not been lifted for 30 years.

We achieved a double that will go down in history and ennoble a remarkable season: only one draw in all competitions!

Your talent and our dedication is a source of pride for all Benfica fans.

Thank you, Little Genius!

One of the most talented, bewildering, and exciting football players in the history of Sport Lisboa e Benfica, Fernando Chalana wore the Sacred Mantle for a total of 13 seasons (1974/75-1983/84 and 1987/88-1989/90). The Little Genius, who made his official debut for the first team on March 7, 1976, aged only 17 years and 25 days (at that time, no one so young had ever played in the Portuguese 1st Division), was six times National Champion with an eagle on his chest and also won two Portuguese Cups, two Super Cups, and three Honor Cups. Before his 18th birthday, Chalana, who would become one of the legends of the National Team, made his first international appearance for Portugal on November 17, 1976, at Estádio da Luz.

"It is a very sad day for the Benfiquista Nation"

"Our genius has passed away, one of the greatest and eternal symbols of the Club," mourned Rui Costa, President of Sport Lisboa e Benfica, in the first reaction to the news of Fernando Chalana's death.
