The Estádio Nacional (English: National Stadium), also known as Estádio do Jamor, is the Portuguese national football ground. It is located in the Jamor sports complex, in Oeiras, near Lisbon. It was projected by Jacobetty Rosa and the building works started in 1939, with its inauguration happening on June 10, 1944 (Portugal Day) by the Council president António Oliveira Salazar. Its current capacity is 32.500.
The stadium traditionally hosts the final of the Portuguese Cup since 1946; only 5 times was this game played on other venues. In total, 52 Cup finals have been played on this ground. However, the most prestigious game ever staged at the Estádio Nacional was the 1967 European Cup final, played between Celtic F.C. and Inter Milan with the former winning by 2-1 and becoming the first British European champion team, nicknamed the Lisbon Lions.
