Soccer Game in Portugal?

We will be in Portugal in June and would love to attend a soccer game while we are there. Any good games that you can recommend in Lisbon or Porto?!

You are in the wrong country to see top level Football
Because of this event you can expect the top team not to be playing.

June is outside of the normal football season and as ribeirasacra points out, this summer is the European Championships in France. I doubt if you'll find any games of a standard worth watching in June.

There are no official matches of any level during June. You can always attend to the public events exhibiting the Euro matches. At least, in Lisbon, there will be screens in public places showing almost every match.

The preparation game between Portugal and Estonia will take place at Estádio da Luz (Lisboa) on the 8th June.

I stand corrected. Helena's post is bang on and the game kicks off at 19.45 UK time.

Didn't remember that match. Anyway, it's always fun for me to watch the Euro and World Cup matches in public places, since there are always fans of the involved teams.

Thank you everyone. That is what I suspected from my research, but I thought I would try!
