Área: High-Performance Career Program

Sevilla FC D has added Cédric Bischoff to its squad, with the Swiss footballer joining the club’s youth development structure through the High Performance Career Program to begin a new chapter in his sporting career.

Bischoff arrives at Sevilla FC after spending last season in England, where he was part of the Steven Gerrard Academy in Liverpool. Previously, the Swiss player developed in his home country, spending time within the structures of FC Thun and FC Breitenrain, a club competing in the third tier of Swiss football.

During the previous campaign, Bischoff made a significant contribution in the attacking phase, recording five goals and eleven assists. These numbers reflect his ability to contribute to the team’s collective play and create opportunities for his teammates.

On the pitch, the new Sevilla FC player stands out for his ability in one-on-one defensive situations, as well as his physical strength and communication. He also brings a strong work ethic and the ability to contribute to chance creation, allowing him to make an impact in different phases of the game.

His move to Seville represents the continuation of a development process that has seen him compete in different football environments and now take on a new experience within the Sevilla FC structure.

“We have a good team, and I expect us to keep working hard, winning games and, at the end of the season, to achieve promotion.” – Cédric Bischoff

Cédric Bischoff’s arrival comes as part of the High Performance Career Program, a Sevilla FC initiative designed to facilitate the integration of young international footballers into the club’s structure and provide them with an environment in which to continue their sporting development.

Sevilla FC Academy welcomes Cédric Bischoff and wishes him a successful season in this new chapter as a Sevilla FC player.

Sevilla FC D has completed the renewal of Eduardo Mangles, who will remain with the team for another season. The player will therefore enter his third season as a Sevilla FC player, further establishing himself as one of the key members of Óscar Olomo’s squad.

Mangles joined Sevilla FC D in January 2025 from Elche CF, becoming the team’s first winter signing. From his first months in Nervión, the attacking midfielder demonstrated his ability to adapt to the squad and make an impact in the final third.

Last season, the player took another step forward in terms of his role within the team, finishing as Sevilla FC D’s top assist provider. His performances stood out particularly for his ability to create chances, find space and contribute to the team’s attacking play.

His talent, pace and technical ability, qualities already highlighted by the player upon his arrival, have progressively allowed him to become an important figure within the Sevilla FC D squad.

A player established within the project.

This renewal represents another step in a journey that began in January 2025. Following an initial period of adaptation and a first renewal, Mangles now enters his third season with Sevilla FC D, continuing to grow in importance within the team.

The attacking midfielder is part of a squad that combines international talent, youth and continuity, within a project designed to provide its players with a competitive environment in which they can continue developing as footballers.

With this renewal, Eduardo Mangles will continue wearing the Sevilla FC D shirt, ready to contribute his quality and attacking ability during another season and to continue developing within the Sevilla FC project.

Sevilla FC D continues to strengthen its squad with international talent with the arrival of Piotr Szymański, a Polish footballer who will begin a new chapter in his career within Sevilla FC’s youth development structure through the High Performance Career Program.

Szymański began his footballing journey at Huragan Wołomin, where he played from the age of five and completed a significant part of his development. The forward also spent time at Varsovia Warszawa, gaining valuable experience that has helped him continue progressing as a footballer.

Last season, the Polish player featured regularly for his team, an experience that allowed him to accumulate playing time and gain valuable competitive experience. This period has helped him continue developing both individually and on the pitch.

Among the qualities that define his profile, Szymański particularly stands out for his quick decision-making and finishing ability, two attributes that he will bring to Sevilla FC D and continue to develop during his time in Seville.

Joining Sevilla FC represents a new sporting challenge for the footballer away from his home country and an opportunity to continue growing within an international football development environment.

“I am very grateful and proud to have the opportunity to play for Sevilla FC. It is a great honour for me to wear the Sevilla FC jersey, and I will do everything in my power to represent this club with pride.” – Piotr Szymański

Piotr Szymański’s arrival is part of the High Performance Career Program, an initiative that facilitates the integration of young international players into the Sevilla FC structure, providing them with an environment for development and competition within the club’s methodology.

Sevilla FC Academy welcomes Piotr Szymański and wishes him the very best in this new chapter as a Sevilla FC player.

Sevilla FC continues to strengthen its international development structure with the addition of Aleksander Koba to the High Performance Career Program. The Polish footballer will be part of the Sevilla FC «D» squad this season, coached by Óscar Olomo, as he begins a new chapter in his footballing career.

Originally from Poland, Koba joins the Sevilla side after playing for Gedania Gdańsk, his most recent club, and Zawisza Bydgoszcz, where he also developed part of his footballing career.

Among his main qualities, the new Sevilla FC player particularly highlights his speed, physical strength and ability to anticipate the opponent’s actions, characteristics he will look to continue developing within Sevilla FC’s methodology.

His arrival in Seville represents a new step in his career and an opportunity to continue developing as a footballer in a new competitive environment, taking on the challenge of becoming part of the club’s structure while continuing to pursue his sporting ambitions.

Speaking about his move to Sevilla FC, Aleksander Koba expressed his excitement about this new chapter:

“I am really glad and honoured to play for Sevilla FC. I see this as an opportunity to play at a higher level and continue developing with the goal of becoming a professional footballer.” – Aleksander Koba

Through the High Performance Career Program, Sevilla FC offers young international footballers the opportunity to integrate into the club’s structure and continue their sporting, academic and personal development within a high-performance environment.

Sevilla FC welcomes Aleksander Koba and wishes him a successful season in this new chapter as a Nervionense player.

Sevilla FC D has once again welcomed Sebastian Fineman for the 2026/2027 season. The Swedish forward returns to Seville through the High Performance Career Program after his experience with Lunds BK, where he continued his career following his first spell as a Sevilla player.

Fineman previously represented Sevilla FC D during the 2024/2025 season, playing a prominent role for the team. The forward made 26 official appearances, scoring 16 goals and providing four assists, finishing as the team’s top scorer.

After completing that season, the player returned to Sweden to join Lunds BK, where he continued his development and gained further competitive experience before returning to the Sevilla setup.

Now, Sebastian Fineman begins a new chapter in Seville, where he will once again be part of Sevilla FC D with the aim of continuing his development as a footballer and contributing his attacking qualities to the team.

His return also marks the continuation of a journey that began in Seville and now opens a new chapter at the Ciudad Deportiva José Ramón Cisneros Palacios.

Sevilla FC D played their fourth pre-season friendly on September 1st against Ciudad Jardín, a team that competes in the same division as the Sevillian side. The match took place in Amate, where the team led by Óscar Olomo played as the away side.

The first half was marked by equality between both teams, with chances shared and an even tempo. Sevilla FC D had one of their clearest opportunities from a set-piece routine. Israel Bernal received the ball following a corner-kick routine, but his shot went just wide of the post.

After the break, the home side had an opportunity from a corner just a few minutes after the restart. Sevilla FC D reacted and began creating more dangerous chances, looking to take the lead.

In the 61st minute, David Castro had a good opportunity to open the scoring, but he was unable to finish the move. The Sevilla striker would get his reward in the 70th minute. Following a pass from Manu Cruzado, Castro found himself one-on-one with the home goalkeeper and finished to make it 0-1 on the scoreboard.

Just three minutes later, Sevilla FC D would strike again. Estefan Mario put Swedish player Sebastian Fineman through one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and he made no mistake to make it 0-2, which would prove to be the final score.

With this result, Sevilla FC D continue to progress in their preparations ahead of the start of the competition, adding another valuable match and positive feelings during this 2026/27 pre-season.

The Sevilla FC D played their second pre-season match last Tuesday, August 25, following their 0-2 victory over Huévar CF in their opening test. On this occasion, the Nervion-based side travelled to the Juan Muñoz Romero Stadium to face C.D. Santiponce in another fixture as part of their preparations for the upcoming season.

The match began at a high tempo, with both sides creating chances. Sevilla FC D could have taken the lead in the opening stages. Manu Cruzado came close to scoring directly from a corner, with his effort hitting the far post, while Álvaro Perea also tested the opposition goalkeeper with a shot from outside the box.

The home side also had a clear opportunity in a one-on-one situation, but Bob Almenas produced a good save to deny them. However, in the 16th minute, C.D. Santiponce took the lead following a set-piece situation near the edge of the penalty area.

Sevilla FC D maintained control of the game for much of the first half, particularly down the left flank, where they managed to create several dangerous situations. Following the hydration break, the match became more evenly contested, with the home side going into half-time with a narrow advantage.

After the break, the Sevilla side came out determined to find an equaliser and took the initiative in possession. The good work from the midfielders and defensive line allowed the team to neutralise much of the opposition’s attacking play, while an effective pressing game also made it difficult for C.D. Santiponce to play out from the back.

The second half was characterised by greater intensity from both teams. In the final stages, Sevilla FC D increased their attacking pressure and created several opportunities to level the score. Two crosses from the flanks found Alpha Diallo and Sebastian Fineman, whose efforts went wide of the target.

Ultimately, the 1-0 scoreline remained unchanged until the final whistle. Despite the result, the team showed positive signs in the defensive aspect, limiting the home side to just two clear opportunities throughout the match.

Sevilla FC D will now continue with their pre-season preparations, focused on continuing to develop as a team and consolidating their ideas ahead of the start of the league campaign, scheduled for September 20.
