António Manuel Rosa celebrated 100 years with a visit to Estádio da Luz to watch the game

António Manuel Rosa celebrated his 100th birthday, on December 23, with a visit to the Estádio da Luz and the Museu Cosme Damião, to watch the Benfica-Braga game.

Mr. António, a Benfica player from Amendoeira da Serra, had never visited the Estádio da Luz, nor witnessed a live Benfica football match. The gift was offered to him by the Parish Council of Mértola, with the support of the Benfica Foundation.

«It was a gratifying day, seeing the joy with which Mr. António Manuel Rosa, through such a simple gesture, made an old dream come true», emphasizes that local authority in Alentejo.
