El Sevilla FC sigue adelante con su proceso de internacionalización y ha sumado una nueva alianza en su programa de ‘World Club Alliance Program’ con la Nigerian Professional Football League. Gracias a este acuerdo, el club proporcionará asesoramiento deportivo y en otras áreas de desarrollo, con especial atención la formación de entrenadores y al desarrollo del talento de los jóvenes jugadores nigerianos.

En el marco de este acuerdo, el presidente de la NPFL, Gbenga Elegbeleye, ha realizado una primera visita al Sevilla FC en la que pudo mantener un encuentro con el máximo dirigente del club, José María del Nido Carrasco, y visitar el Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.

“Estamos muy satisfechos de poder trabajar con la Liga Profesional de Nigeria. El Sevilla FC está convencido de que con esta alianza puede ayudar a los clubes de la NPFL a seguir mejorando a nivel deportivo y favorecer el desarrollo de sus jóvenes talento. Es un nuevo paso decisivo en nuestro proceso de internacionalización y ayudará a que nuestra marca siga creciendo en Africa, además en un país como Nigeria del que estamos recibiendo mucho cariño tras el fichaje de Chidera Ejuke», explicó el presidente del Sevilla FC, José María del Nido Carrasco.

«Tenemos 20 clubes en la Premier League de Nigeria y todos ellos tienen sus propios equipos juveniles. Conozco la historia y la trayectoria del Sevilla FC. Este es un muy buen club con importantes trofeos y campeones de España y Europa muchos años. Siento que, con su estrategia de desarrollo y su programa de desarrollo juvenil, Nigeria puede sacar beneficio. Creemos que los mejores jugadores de la Youth League de Nigería podrán venir aquí cada temporada para entrenar. Con su ayuda y sus entrenamientos, cuando regresen, algunos de ellos se habrán convertido en mejores jugadores. También tenemos un acuerdo de formación para nuestros entrenadores que será positivo para nosotros. Es un acuerdo con el que todos saldrán ganando en la NPFL«, aseguró el presidente de la Liga Profesional de Fútbol de Nigeria, Gbenga Elegbeleye.

Además, el dirigente nigeriano quiso poner de relieve el grado de atención que está recibiendo el Sevilla FC en Nigeria tras el fichaje de Ejuke. «Cuando ficharon a Chidera Ejuke procedente del Royal Antwerp, los nigerianos pusieron mucho interés en el Sevilla FC. Todos los amantes del fútbol en Nigeria están contentos. Quieren saber más sobre el Sevilla ahora, su base de fans en Nigeria crece cada día«.

Asimismo, la expedición de la NPFL, encabezada por su presidente, también pudo conocer las instalaciones de la Ciudad Deportiva José Ramón Cisneros Palacios y realizar las primeras reuniones de trabajo con el área deportiva del club para dar los primeros pasos en la alianza entre ambas entidades. 

Sevilla FC will have from this season a new team integrating its competitive structure. It will be a squad with a marked international character that will start competing in the Tercera Andaluza and will be formed mostly by foreign players over 18 years of age, in accordance with FIFA regulations. This is a project not only of a sporting nature, but also of international strategic development, through which foreign players will be given a place, regardless of their potential on the field of play, to help the club grow in different markets of interest.

This is a new pillar of the internationalization of sports at Sevilla FC and will be coordinated by the club’s Innovation Center, a platform that brings together the entire innovation proposal that Sevilla FC offers to the world of sport, as a result of the promotion and development of R+D+i projects that make it possible to respond to new trends and consumer demands in the sector. The new international team will have the normal and customary treatment of the rest of the youth teams, with its own coaching staff, analysis, physical preparation, media coverage and medical service, and the facilities of the sports city at its disposal. In this first season of life it will not be a 100% foreign team for operational reasons, an objective that will be achieved progressively in the coming seasons. In order to finalize the formation of the team, a trial period will be held during the first week of August, which is open to all U-19 players of foreign nationality who are interested in forming part of this innovative project under the Sevilla FC brand.

The team will be coached this season by Óscar Olomo, a coach with extensive experience in the club’s Femenino B, along with his assistant coach Antonio González, a former canterano of the club who also comes from the Femenino B team.

The Antonio Puerta Soccer School is already preparing for the 2024-25 academic year. To this end, the registration period for a new season that is full of activities and challenges for the little ones has been open since Tuesday. The school is the ideal environment for children born between 2011 and 2020 to play sports, develop, learn and, above all, have fun while they soak up the best Sevillista values.

The course is designed for the following categories: baby, pre-benjamin, benjamin, alevin and infantile. Each student will belong to a team that will be named after a Sevilla FC player and will receive the necessary sports equipment for training: two complete playing kits (shirt, shorts and socks), tracksuit, training sweatshirt, raincoat and backpack.

Most of the activities will take place at Sevilla FC’s top-level facilities at the Ciudad Deportiva José Ramón Cisneros Palacios. The schedule will be the same as usual: Monday to Thursday from 17.00 to 20.00 hours. Specifically, two training days a week of one hour, with games and/or games on Fridays from November onwards.

All the necessary information is available at this web address. Prices are the same as last year, as well as discounts for Sevilla FC members and season ticket holders. To proceed with the registration process, please click on this link.

This Monday is the deadline for the renewal of the Antonio Puerta School for the 2024-2025 season. These inscriptions are still intensifying, but anyone who does not want to miss the opportunity is still in time to sign up.

The Antonio Puerta Soccer School continues with its renewal period open. After this process began last June, Sevilla FC and its Foundation continue to prepare a new season for those Sevilla players born between 2011 and 2018, both included, who want to take their first steps with the ball in the facilities of the Utrera road.

The Training Facilites José Ramón Cisneros Palacios hosted the training sessions of the Sevilla FC Players Academy program, offered by the club’s Innovation Center. On this occasion, three teams from the youth, infantile and cadet categories came to the facilities, representing LaLiga Dubai and IFA New England, from the United States of America.

The Players Academy program brings together training sessions given by Sevilla FC professionals and based on the methodology developed by the club over the years. On this occasion, Sevilla coaches Álex Martín, Javi Álex and Luis Álvarez led the sessions for the aforementioned groups of players, who after finishing the work moved to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium to take the Stadium Tour.

“The training program for Sevilla FC players is very professional due to the club’s staff and its facilities. We are very happy, especially the kids, to be here,” said Dominique Panmo Nana, from IFA New England. In the same vein, Daniel Voros, from the U.S. team, commented on the experience: “We come from Boston. We are going to play a tournament in Andalusia and we are at the Sevilla FC Academy. A great experience due to the magnificent facilities of the club and its staff. We also visited their stadium, we hope to return in the future”.
