Didn`t realize we had Portuguese people on this forum, or are you one of the multitude of worldwide Benfica supporters out there? I believe that the eagles of Lisbon have one of the highest club memberships in the world.

I think Benfica actually has the highest club membership, I distinctly recall news about surpassing Manchester at one point.
And yes, I am Portuguese, I seem to be the only one here, too (not trying to boast there).

I think you`re right about their membership as being the highest in the world. Talking about things Portuguese, well in this case Brazilian, Flamengo according to Wikipedia have an estimated 35 million supporters!!!!

35 million?!
There are more Flamengo supporters than there are Portuguese people! A rather large fanbase, I'd say...
And, back to Benfica, if we do have the highest membership in the world (and I'm convinced we do), I hope we keep it, heh.
