A few days after confirming the hiring of Swedish striker Cassandra Korhonen, Benfica announced another reinforcement for the women’s football team. It is Finnish Heiddis Lillyardottir, 25-year-old centre-back, who joins the club on loan from Breidablik.
“I always dreamed of playing away from Iceland. Benfica are one of the biggest clubs in the world and it’s an honor for me to be here. Benfica’s women’s football has been competing for four years. They were champions last season and were able to play in the Champions League», said the athlete who already works under Filipa Patão.
