History

Futebol Benfica already played in the top Portuguese level in the 1990s.[1] In the 2010-11 season it returned to the category. Though that same season it reached the Cup final, initially it struggled to avoid relegation. But in the 2013-14 season Futebol Benfica rose to the top positions. The next year, 2014-15, Futebol Benfica won both the championship and the cup.[2] Futebol Benfica repeated the feat in 2015-16, winning both the championship and cup again.

In the 2015-16 season Futebol Benfica made its Champions League debut.[3] Despite winning two out of its three games, Futebol Benfica was eliminated in the qualifying round.
