List Of S.L. Benfica Players (25–99 Appearances)
Since their first competitive match, more than 750 players have made a competitive first-team appearance for the club, many of whom have played between 25 and 99 matches. Dimas, Tahar El Khalej, and Nemanja Matić all fell one short of 100 appearances, as they all moved elsewhere while the season was ongoing. Four former players went on to be first-team managers: Cosme Damião, Ribeiro dos Reis, Vítor Gonçalves, and Cândido Tavares. Hugo Leal, who appeared 41 times for the club, is the youngest player to have played for Benfica. He was 16 years and 335 days when he played against Sporting de Espinho on 20 April 1997. João Félix holds the club record sale at €126 million. Nemanja Matić and Darwin Núñez are the only players listed to have been selected as Primeira Liga Player of the Year. Of the players still at the club, Alexander Bah is the closest to 100 appearances; he has played 86 matches.
As of 10 November 2024, a total of 281 players have played between 25 and 99 competitive matches for the club. Of those players, 8 are still playing for the club.
