Pre-Season Friendlies set

With the new season 8 days from starting, Benfica has announced 2 pre-season friendlies. On August 9th, Benfica will play Holland's Feyenoord on what will be the official team introduction.
Benfica has also announced a match with Mourinho's Inter, that will be part of the first Eusebio Cup, to also take place in August, with a tentative date of the 15th.
The date has been left as tentative, as Benfica will be waiting for a decision by Uefa as to wether they will be participating in the Champions League or not.
Benfica has appealed UEFA's decision to include porto in the Champions League this year. If you recall, UEFA returned the case to the first instance, but later admitted porto in, claiming that the case would not have deliberations before August 1st, a date in which the CL drawings will take place. Both Benfica and Guimaraes submitted appeals to Europe's Sporting Tribunal requesting that a decision be reached by July 31st, in order for UEFA to deliberate.


The Eusebio Cup will only be one game in its first year(this year), it'll then take on a 4 team format.
