What this jersey represents

Benfica's 2022-23 season saw the Portuguese club finally reclaim its natural place among Europe's elite after a few years in the European wilderness. Under the direction of Roger Schmidt, who arrived at the Estádio da Luz in the summer of 2022, the Águias rediscovered an attacking, spectacular style of play reminiscent of the club's glory days. This season, Benfica finished Primeira Liga champions with a comfortable lead, winning the national title with the consistency and serenity of great teams.

On the pitch, the season was driven by an exceptional generation of players. Rafa Silva, an undisputed stalwart of the attack, delivered high-level performances throughout the campaign. Enzo Fernández, a young Argentine midfielder recruited the previous summer, burst onto the world stage with XXL performances in the Champions League — before joining Chelsea in January for a record fee. Gonçalo Ramos firmly established himself as one of the best strikers of his generation, notably after his historic hat-trick at the 2022 World Cup with Portugal. A team, an era, a jersey.

Moments etched in this jersey

The 2022-23 Primeira Liga title
Benfica won the Portuguese championship in 2023, dominating the competition from start to finish under Roger Schmidt. The Estádio da Luz, packed for major matches, recaptured the electric atmosphere of national celebrations.

Enzo Fernández, the Champions League revelation
Before his departure in January 2023, the World Cup-winning Argentine midfielder delivered high-level performances in the 2022-23 Champions League, carrying Benfica into the knockout stages. His departure represented a huge loss, but the club proved its collective strength.

The European journey to the quarter-finals
Benfica passed the round of sixteen of the 2022-23 Champions League by eliminating Club Brugge, before falling in the quarter-finals to Inter Milan. A rediscovered European level confirming that the Águias are back among the big clubs.

Authentic vs. Replica

An official authentic jersey is what the players wore — or more accurately, what was sold to fans in the official club store. The finishes are of superior quality to a replica: the logos are precisely flocked, the technical fabrics breathe differently, and the manufacturing details speak for themselves when you hold the jersey in your hand. It's not the same as a copy from an anonymous factory.

This Benfica home jersey 2022-23 in 9/10 condition is an almost impeccable example. The Emirates Fly Better sponsor is perfectly intact, the seams are clean, and the overall appearance is that of a jersey that has been carefully preserved. At this level of condition, you are looking at a piece that can both join a framed collection or be worn on match nights.

Vintage Sizing Guide

Football jerseys from the 2000s to 2020s — and often still today for authentic cuts — fit smaller than what you're used to with modern oversized-fit sportswear. A size M jersey from this era often corresponds to an S or a slim M in today's wardrobe. Don't rely solely on the label.

Before ordering, take the time to measure your chest circumference and compare it with the actual measurements of the jersey if available. If you hesitate between two sizes for daily wear, take the larger size. For a framed collection, the size on the label is sufficient. In any case, do not hesitate to contact us for the exact measurements of this item.

Why have it in your collection

The Benfica collector's jersey 2022-23 is a direct representation of a pivotal season for the Lisbon club. A year with a title in hand, a Champions League played at a very high level, and a generation of players whose names — Enzo Fernández, Gonçalo Ramos, Rafa Silva — now resonate far beyond Portugal's borders. In ten years, this season will be told as a turning point, and this jersey will be its direct witness.

And frankly, there aren't many official Benfica jerseys in 9/10 condition like this one floating around. Most worn copies have suffered knocks, friction, and repeated washes. Here, you are looking at a piece that has clearly been cherished. It's the kind of jersey you'd regret letting slip away.
