Hide AdBenfica remain Portugal's most successful club with 31 League titles, 27 Portuguese Cups and two European Cups and among the players who have come through their acclaimed youth set-up is Rui Costa.
SL Benfica Soccer School Academy Coach, Hugo Vicente, will be heading the staff presenting how they teach the game.
He says: “The learning process, the methodologies & teaching strategies used by the SL Benfica Way is based on the thought that it's more important to teach the young player 'how to play' using their decision making, technical and motoring skills at speed in game like situations.
“However, we believe that success is not measured only through the sporting results, but also, for the social and human development of our players. It is our goal that our young players will always feel successful throughout their lives.”
