Benfica Wins 10th Portuguese Cup Title After Defeating Nun’Álvares in Women’s Futsal Final – A Bola & Diário de Notícias Confirm Historic Triumph

Benfica secured their 10th Taça de Portugal de Futsal Feminino title with a narrow 1-0 victory over Nun’Álvares in the final held in Gondomar on Sunday, April 26, 2026. The decisive goal came from Fifó in the 15th minute, giving the Lisbon side their fourth consecutive cup triumph.

The match, contested between the top two teams in the league championship, saw Benfica overcome the reigning national champions who had already won the Supertaça and Taça da Liga this season. Fifó’s early strike proved to be the difference as Benfica defended their lead to claim the trophy.

This victory extends Benfica’s record in the competition, reinforcing their status as the most successful club in Taça de Portugal de Futsal Feminino history. According to historical records, Benfica now has 10 titles, while Nun’Álvares has won the competition once, in the 2021/22 season.

The win as well marks Benfica’s fourth consecutive Taça de Portugal triumph, having previously won in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons. Their dominance in the competition dates back to the inaugural 2013/14 season, with titles in 2013/14, 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20, 2022/23, and 2023/24 prior to this latest victory.

Nun’Álvares, based in Fafe, had previously ended Benfica’s bid for the trophy in the 2021/22 season when they won the final via penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw. That season represented one of only two occasions Benfica has lost the final since their first triumph, the other being in 2014/15 when Quinta dos Lombos defeated them.

The Gondomar venue hosted the final as Benfica sought to add to their growing legacy in Portuguese women’s futsal. The team entered the match as favorites having finished as one of the top two teams in the league standings during the regular season.

With this victory, Benfica continues to establish benchmarks in Portuguese women’s futsal, combining domestic cup success with other tournament wins this season. The club’s futsal section has now won multiple major trophies in the 2025/26 campaign, underlining their comprehensive strength in the sport.

The Taça de Portugal de Futsal Feminino, established in the 2013/14 season, remains the premier knockout competition for women’s futsal clubs in Portugal. Benfica’s 10 titles represent the most in the tournament’s history, surpassing all other participants combined.

Looking ahead, Benfica will aim to build on this success as they prepare for upcoming fixtures in both league and cup competitions. The victory provides momentum as they defend multiple fronts in their pursuit of continued domestic dominance.
