The club crest and Adidas logo are embroidered on the chest, while the 'vodafone' sponsor is screen-printed in the center. The neck tag features the classic Adidas mountain logo accompanied by a grid of national flags, typical for authentic merchandise from this era.The 2002-03 season was a significant period in SL Benfica's history, as it was the final season they played their home matches at the original Estádio da Luz before it was demolished and rebuilt for the UEFA Euro 2004 tournament. Under the management of José Antonio Camacho, who took over mid-season, the team finished 2nd in the Primeira Liga, securing a return to the UEFA Champions League. Notable players who wore this kit include Simao Sabrosa, Nuno Gomes, Petit, and Tiago Mendes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adidas","offers":[{"title":"M \/ Red \/ Adidas","offer_id":53017984172368,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/5859\/0544\/files\/b696ce80-9c1f-4ba5-a34b-54b891c7da41_product_1a3e64a0-70b4-47d9-b46d-dc7ff4acca89_1778234994729_b2b3ca33-ea37-4814-8e18-78ee50520ebd.jpg?v=1779087735","url":"https:\/\/thissavintage.nl\/products\/2002-03-sl-benfica-adidas-home-football-shirt-m-399637","provider":"Thissavintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
