Transition mandate

A short mandate in accordance with the approved statutes, was not a barrier to our administrator’s great achievements.
Management of short time, with the Statutes, elaborated by Alberto Lima (Vice-President) and Félix Bermudes, approved ate the Assembly in 1912, making a connection between the mandates and the civil years, which has contributed to the 1912’s elections. During the short management, they changed the peripheral Benfica’s neighborhood for the city center, in Baixa Pombalina, inaugurating, then, the Rossio’s headquarter, thinking about the member’s benefits, as it had an easier itineration. The club was out of the limits of Benfica and Belém for a long time (where its popularity was still very high).
