Home shirt as worn by Simao Sabrosa during the 2002-03 season, a pivotal campaign for SL Benfica. The shirt reflects a period when Simao’s dynamic performances helped Benfica secure a respectable position in the Primeira Liga.

Simao Sabrosa, known for his dribbling, pace, and precise deliveries, was one of the standout players for Benfica that season. His most notable performances came in domestic competition, especially in the Primeira Liga.

One of the key moments of the season was his performance against Sporting CP in the derby on November 24, 2002. In that crucial match, Simao scored a vital goal and provided an assist, contributing to Benfica's 2-1 victory. This victory helped Benfica secure their place in the upper part of the table.

Throughout the season, Simao continued to be a key figure in Benfica’s attack, scoring vital goals and providing assists that helped the team maintain their position. His performances in matches like the 1-0 win over Boavista and the 3-2 win over Maritimo were crucial to Benfica’s efforts to finish in the top spots in the league.

The 2002-03 season was part of the club's attempt to rebuild, and Simao’s contributions made him one of the most important players in Benfica's squad during this period. The design of the shirt, made by Adidas, was a classic red color with clean lines, reflecting Benfica’s traditional look and aspirations for the future.
