The Seixal Training Center is at the center of a NEO Studios documentary titled “Fábrica de Sonhos: Benfica” and production will be distributed in the coming weeks in the USA, European and Asian markets.
In the four episodes of the production, the current players in the Reds’ squad can be seen, such as Antonio Silva and Henrique Araujo, but also names from Seixal who are already stepping into the biggest European stages in the big leagues have a prominent place, such as Rúben Dias and João Cancelo, Manchester City players , or João Félix, who left Luz for Atlético de Madrid for 126 million euros.
Anouk Mertens, Global CEO of New Studios, said: “We are excited to be able to work closely with Benfica to portray what makes the club and the Benfica campus such a unique and special environment. The reach they have given our team is unparalleled and I’m sure sports fans around the world will appreciate the more intimate stories that the documentary has to offer. Especially how and why the young players were able to triumph in this legendary European giant, but also the talent, dedication and perseverance it takes.”
For Domingos Soares de Oliveira, CEO of Benfica: “The release of the documentary, produced by NEO Studios, on international platforms, allows us to showcase and highlight the excellence of the work done on the Benfica campus on an international level. We have been honored for this work in our industry, and it is extremely important to disseminate it to a much wider audience.”
