Antonio Puerta Football School Kicks Off the 2024-25 Season

The Antonio Puerta Football School experienced one of its most iconic moments of the season yesterday with the inauguration of the new term at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. Hundreds of children gathered at Sevilla FC’s stadium to kick off a season full of excitement, football, Sevillista values, and fun. The event, attended by Sevilla FC president José María del Nido Carrasco, players Juanlu, Agoumé, and Pedro Ortiz, and female players Esther Sullastres, Diana Gomes, and Pamela González, included numerous recreational activities for the students and a simple public presentation for parents that showcased how the school operates.

“We are celebrating the 16th year of the school that bears the name of our eternal number 16. That same number tells us very different stories. First and foremost, this school is the best possible tribute to our Antonio Puerta. At Sevilla FC, we remember him and keep him present every single day, but I believe that through this school bearing his name, his name being spoken by all these boys and girls is one of the most cherished tributes for Antonio, who surely watches over you with enthusiasm and pride. The second meaning of 16 is that all these years of this wonderful project show that it is more alive than ever, instilling marvelous values in our children: equality, fraternity, camaraderie, education, and sports. You must play sports and have fun, but you must also study and educate yourselves because education will allow you to make choices,” the president told the students.

The event featured a mini football fair before and after the official proceedings, with the main highlight being a magician’s performance and, as in the previous year, a freestyle football show. Additionally, the children had the opportunity to explore the first team’s official bus. The last spots for enrollment in the 2024-25 term are still available through this link.

The American Aiden Webb will be part of Sevilla FC ‘D

Sevilla FC D, the international team of Sevilla Football Club, adds a new player to its ranks from the United States. The team now has a new international representative with the incorporation of Aiden Webb. The player, born in Texas, is already training under the direction of Óscar Olomo and his coaching staff to prepare for the start of the Tercera Andaluza season at the end of September.

Webb, 19, describes himself as a winger with “pace, dynamic and skillful” and has expressed his satisfaction with his first experiences training with his new teammates at the Ciudad Deportiva José Ramón Cisneros Palacios facilities: “It’s been a lot of fun, and I’ve learned a lot in the short time I’ve been here. I’m excited to keep growing, not only as a player but also as a person.”

As for his adaptation, the player notes, “It’s very hot, but it’s also hot where I’m from. It’s beautiful, the country is stunning, and I’d say the food is great too. The first week was tough, I had to adjust, but I think I’ve finally found my rhythm and I’m gaining confidence.”

Webb’s arrival comes within the framework of the creation of Sevilla FC D as the club’s new international team, and the American footballer is very grateful for the opportunity: “I think it’s a great opportunity, and I’m really thankful to be here, playing for a big club with a lot of history and titles.”

Finally, the player shares a message for other players who want to develop in programs like Sevilla FC’s international team: “Work hard every day, even when you don’t feel like going to the gym or working out, you just have to do it. Those are the most important days, and even if you make a mistake, forget it and focus on the next thing.”
