SL BENFICA latest news -Uefa Cup bound

[Bentex]

I found this article,
Benfica, Portugal's most widely supported club, is keeping the stadium open until midnight so fans can pay tribute to Feher before his coffin is taken back to his native Hungary on Wednesday for his funeral.

People of all ages have left flowers, candles, and scarves from various football teams around the coffin as well as outside the gates to the stadium, which will host the final match of the European football championship on July 4.

"I am a Sporting fan and I am here! Show this!," one man yelled before a bank of television crews gathered at the stadium.

At one point on Monday the line of people waiting to enter the stadium extended for over 300 metres (1,000 feet).

Once inside, mourners signed one of 10 condolence books set up by Benfica before filing slowly past the coffin, which is draped in Benfica's red and yellow flag.

One young man in his early 20s, wearing a Benfica scarf, stopped by the coffin and made the sign of the cross before being quietly ushered on by security guards.

He was followed by a group of six friends, each one of them wearing a different team scarf, who held hands as they stopped briefly before the coffin.

Among the other people waiting nearby to get into the stadium were a pregnant woman, a man on crutches who came alone and two cleaning ladies who were on their lunch hour.

"May God protect you," said one card left on the ground outside the stadium.

A number of people have become overwhelmed with emotion at the sight of the coffin and have fainted, Portuguese media reported.

at the begin of every season between Benfica, Sporting, Porto, and a invitation to the champion of Hungary
we are going to have the dates with the Superliga reduction to 16 teams,


some of the proceeds could go to the decease families, like Pavao, Feher of players the died on a Soccer field, basketball court etc

one year Benfica will be the host, then Sporting, and then Porto, and vice versa, just a idea, if you like past it along

[Bentex]

I think the idea of a tribute game between Benfica and Hungary is a better idea.

and your idea of the proceeds could go to the decease families :thumbsup:

[Frank Cunha]

I like to have Porto, Sporting involved, and other clubs because I believe the people spoke and demand the teams most seat and starter to get along,

[Frank Cunha]

Porto also know's the feeling, they also lost one of there own, one of the best upcoming players in the early 70's, he also died in the soccer field, PAVAO he was a portuguese international and the Porto captain, he was only 26.

[Frank Cunha]

you can see the players eyes carrying the casket, in the front Helder the Benfica captain, also I believe he played in England before he went to Desp. Corunha, the other Brazilian Argel

Thoughts go out to all who knew and loved him. Rest In Peace

Futebol – Morte súbita no Funchal após jogo de confraternização



O responsável pelo complexo desportivo do Nacional da Madeira, Virgílio Brito, faleceu na terça-feira, após um jogo de futebol entre amigos no Funchal, numa situação semelhante à sucedida com o avançado húngaro do Benfica, Miklos Fehér.


Virgílio Brito, de 45 anos, caiu quando estava a conversar com colegas numa das extremidades do campo, antes de se dirigir aos balneários, logo após ter participado num habitual jogo de confraternização realizado no campo sintético de São Martinho.

Prontamente assistido pela EMIR (Equipa Médica de Intervenção Rápida), que fez várias operações de reanimação no local, Virgílio Brito foi posteriormente transportado para o Centro Hospitalar do Funchal, onde foi confirmado o óbito.

«Fehér sempre vestiste a camisola do Benfica com garra e vontade de vencer. Agora, estamos todos aqui presentes – desportistas, companheiros, dirigentes, portugueses, juntos e unidos. O Benfica está a fazer tudo em tua memória e no dia em que formos campeões vamos levantar a taça em tua memória e nesse dia não morrerás», assegurou Luís Felipe Vieira.
