In a ceremony that took place on Monday night, November 11, at the Centro Cultural de Belém, Sport Lisboa e Benfica was awarded several prizes at the Quinas de Ouro 2024 Gala.

During the event organized jointly by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), the Professional Football Players' Union and the National Association of Football Coaches, the club was honored. President Rui Costa took to the stage to receive a Quinas de Ouro trophy.

"It's a great pleasure to be receiving this award. In any case, we're doing no more than we have to for Portuguese football, and may we all work together to raise our name higher and higher, for all the talent and courage that this country has," said the President of SL Benfica.

Coach of Benfica's women's football team, winner of all the domestic trophies in 2023/24, and nominated for the Best Coach of the Year Award, Filipa Patão was also honored.

"I'm very happy and honored by this because, above all, more than a coach, I've also been a player. I live from football, I've always lived from football, and this is what feeds me. It's not the titles, it's this, it's being here today, in front of this giant audience of Portuguese football, which honors our country so much and has done so much to bring more and more merit to Portugal, so I can only be honored and happy, I don't need any more awards. Being here today, at this moment, already makes me very happy," said Filipa Patão.
