History


The club was founded as Sport Luanda e Benfica and later renamed to Saneamento Rangol. In 2000, the club returned to its original name, Sport Luanda e Benfica.[1]


In 1995, as Saneamento Rangol, the club was promoted to the following year's first division.[2] In 2003, Benfica de Luanda was relegated to the second division.[3] In 2004, the club finished second in the second division, and was promoted to the first division.[4] In 2005, the club finished 6th in the first division.[5]



2017 Girabola


On January 23, 2017, Benfica de Luanda issued a press release stating that it would not participate in the Girabola, citing financial reasons, and that the club would focus on its youth academy and in turning the club into a sports company. With such decision, the club is liable to a heavy penalty by the Angolan Federation that might include a suspension from the girabola for an established period[1]

Stadium


The club plays their home matches at the state-owned 12,000 capacity Estádio dos Coqueiros. However, work began in 2012 in the Luanda outskirts village of Cacuaco on the construction of their own stadium, with all the requirements for training and camp for their players. Sport Luanda e Benfica members believe that the club will become a role model in the near future.
