They are confident of a return to former glories with their new professional set up which has led to a host of overseas signings. Most notably ] from Birmingham in England. A formidable loose head prop, who is both dominant in the scrum and rampaging in the loose made a good start on his debut where he faced, and dominated the national skipper. He has recently been selected in a squad to face the national side in a warm-up for their upcoming internationals. They hope to secure Campbell to a long term contract, and with this secure the long term success of this once proud rugby club. | |||

Sport Lisboa e Benfica (Portuguese pronunciation: [sɨˈpɔɾ liʒˈβoɐ i βɐ̃jˈfikɐ] ), commonly known as Benfica, is a Portuguese rugby union team based in Lisbon. Founded in 1924, Benfica is one of the oldest Portuguese rugby teams. The men's team competes in the Campeonato Português de Rugby, the first tier of rugby union in Portugal. In June 2014, the club refused the invitation to join the first division. The women's team play in the Campeonato Nacional, the first tier, but recent changes in the competition mean they only compete in Sevens.
Benfica currently hold home games at the Lisbon University Stadium, while their youth teams play at the Pupilos do Exército, near Colégio Militar in Lisbon. Benfica hoped to secure a rugby field in Oeiras, in a 20-year rental, but the project never materialized. It was supposed to have a grass field capable of international matches, plus two synthetic fields for youth development, three football fields for Under-12, a 2,000 people stand and additional logistical support.
Benfica once had a Portuguese international in their team, Diogo Gama, who represented Portugal at the 2007 World Cup.
