Benfica profit falls 44% to 19.1 million euros

Correio da Manhã8 September 2026 at 22:01

Benfica saw its profit drop 44%, to 19.1 million euros, according to data relating to the sports season. The red SAD faced an operational hole in the 2025/26 season, resulting from the team's worst sporting performance.

The drop in profit was due to both a reduction in revenues and an increase in operating expenses. The Lisbon club managed, however, to offset this deficit through player sales, which ended up balancing the accounts of the sports public limited company.

"Pinhão de Alcácer" Moves Forward with European Certification Through IGP Creation

The Association of Forest Producers of the Alentejo Litoral (ANSUB) will lead a 30 thousand euro project, co-financed at 85% by the Alentejo 2030 Program, to create the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) of "Pinhão de Alcácer". This initiative recovers an ambition of more than a decade to protect, differentiate and enhance this traditional product obtained from Pinus pinea L., whose ivory-white kernel and traditional production methods are historically associated with Alcácer do Sal, a region where the product was once designated as "white gold". The project follows a frustrated 2014 attempt to obtain Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and has a specifications document prepared through a 2018 master's thesis.
