Message of condolences addressed by the President of the Republic to Sport Lisboa e Benfica (a sports club), concerning the decease of soccer player Manuel Bento
Upon receiving the distressing news of the passing away of the soccer player Manuel Bento, I wish to extend to my deepest condolences to Sport Lisboa e Benfica and my feelings of profound sadness to his Family.

Manuel Bento was a player who brought prestige to Portuguese soccer and, for this reason, his name will be recalled with care and admiration by all the Portuguese.
