 Lusitano was supposed to start playing their home matches at the Complexo Desportivo do Lusitano, commonly known as Silveirinha, which was built in 2006 and is able to hold a seating capacity of 10,000.Construction started 7 February 2006 and was accelerated due to Luiz Felipe Scolari`s intention to prepare Portugal for the upcoming 2006 FIFA World Cup in the city of Évora.The existing grounds were old and not suitable for training and holding a friendly match against Cape Verde, so there was a project to abandon the Campo Estrela which would be demolished and Lusitano would start using the Silveirinha complex after the departure of the Portuguese national team.
