Área: Sevilla FC Academy Antonio Puerta

Excitement, teamwork, and a love for football filled the San Juan Bosco Stadium in Utrera, where our Baby Team was crowned champion of the Reyes Cup Quadrangular, a competition that each year honors the memory of José Antonio Reyes, an eternal example of talent and Sevillismo.

In this fourth edition, sponsored by Jesús Navas, the young Sevillistas delivered an outstanding performance in their first official experience wearing our badge. With smiles and the ball as the true stars, the Academy’s youngest side earned victories over CD Cantera (5–0), EMF Utrera (4–0), and CD Utrera (1–0).

Beyond the results, the participation of these Baby players reflected the essence of the club’s educational project: to teach how to compete with sportsmanship, to enjoy the shared effort, and to live the values of Sevilla FC both on and off the pitch.

The tournament, held on October 10, 11, and 12, also promoted three fundamental pillars: physical health, personal development, and coexistence among young players from different communities. In this environment of learning and friendship, the young champions proudly represented the spirit of the Sevilla FC Academy Antonio Puerta, where every training session is both a football lesson and a life lesson.

The team’s success is also a reflection of the hard work and dedication of its coaching staff, led by Álvaro Cabrera as head coach, Eduardo García as assistant coach, Francisco Díaz as goalkeeping coach, and Manuel Gandul as team delegate. Their daily commitment to teaching, respect, and the all-round development of the players was key to ensuring that the youngest Sevillistas enjoyed such a rewarding experience both on and off the pitch.

The triumph at the Reyes Cup marks another step forward in the growth of these young footballers who, with their commitment and enthusiasm, reminded everyone that being part of Sevilla means believing you can — and proving it; knowing that the future depends on you.

Friday, October 10, 2025, will be remembered as a milestone in the history of the Sevilla FC Academy, marking the day our team played its first official match in a federated competition in the 7-a-side football category. The match, corresponding to the opening fixture of the Fourth Andalusian League (Group 7), was played at the José Ramón Cisneros Palacios Training Ground, where the side coached by Alejandro Suárez and Eduardo García, with Iván Falce as team delegate, earned a 10–0 victory over CD Mairena.

Beyond the result, this debut held a special meaning for both players and staff. It reflected the daily work, the enthusiasm to keep learning, and the commitment to the values that define Sevilla FC’s youth academy. The squad — Adrián Toronjo, Leo Villalón, Alejandro Lora, Aarón Bernal, Lucas Godoy, Marcos Carmona, and Roque Sánchez-Pobre, together with Martín Caballero, Ramón Santiago, Diego Martínez, Francisco Ortiz, Dylan Augusto, and Leo Pérez — displayed exemplary behavior both on and off the pitch.

At Sevilla FC, this first step is viewed not merely as a sporting achievement, but as an educational experience that promotes self-improvement, effort, continuous growth, teamwork, and respect for the opponent. Because at the Sevilla FC Academy, the true victory lies in shaping people through football — with a clear purpose and a guiding motto: #NeverSurrender

The Sevilla FC Academy Antonio Puerta enjoyed a very special day at the Los Alcores Shopping Center, where the passion for football and the red-and-white colors came together in an event designed for children and their families. The goal: to bring the Academy closer to the community, strengthen the Internal League, and transmit the values that make Sevilla FC great.

The day began with a warm welcome and the participation of players from Sevilla Atlético and the Women’s First Team, who answered questions from the Academy students and Internal League players with closeness and naturalness. After this cheerful and engaging exchange, one of the most anticipated moments arrived: the prize draw —cinema tickets, a JD voucher, an official ball, and tickets for the Sevilla FC vs. RCD Mallorca match— which thrilled the attendees.

Commemorative pennants were then presented to all the Internal League teams, a symbolic gesture of gratitude that helped strengthen everyone’s sense of belonging to this sporting project.

The event continued with activities tailored to each age group: the youngest enjoyed painting the club’s crest in the playroom, benjamines and alevines had fun at Galaxy Park with video games and interactive attractions, while infantiles and cadetes experienced the excitement of bowling. Everyone also got the chance to watch a short film at the cinema, summarizing last season’s activities and reliving its best moments together.

It was a day full of fun, camaraderie, and Sevillismo, reaffirming the commitment of the Sevilla FC Academy “Antonio Puerta” to its mission: to train not only players but also people, guided by the values of effort, cooperation, motivation, and commitment — with the pride of defending the Sevilla FC badge.

The enormous interest generated by its training model has led to last summer already surpassing the enrollment record set in the previous season. This milestone confirms the growing appeal of an educational and sporting project that aims to continue increasing its national and international prestige.

A youth academy with its own identity

The school is built on the solid reputation of Sevilla’s youth academy, recognized not only for producing talented players but also for instilling strong values. The goal is clear: to create an environment where boys and girls can play sports, learn, grow, and have fun in a setting that nurtures not only football skills but also cognitive, emotional, physical, social, and cultural development.
“We start from the premise of being educators: we teach football, we develop athletes, we shape people,” the club emphasizes, highlighting the philosophy that guides every step of the Sevilla FC Academy.

Top-tier facilities

Training sessions take place at the José Ramón Cisneros Palacios Sports and Business Campus, a first-class facility featuring state-of-the-art artificial turf fields, 3×3 training grounds, classrooms, changing rooms, a cafeteria, and ample parking. Additionally, the campus is well-connected by public transport, thanks to its proximity to the Pablo de Olavide University Metro station.

New: Federation teams in the RFAF

One of the highlights this season will be the affiliation of the Antonio Puerta School teams, which will integrate into the Sevilla FC Academy structure and compete in the leagues of the Royal Andalusian Football Federation (RFAF).

This step is part of a pilot project aimed at the youngest categories (Babies, Prebenjamins, Benjamins, and Alevins). Students will be evaluated by both academy and school coaches to ensure that the competition format aligns with their stage of learning.
The aim, the organization explains, “is to provide different competitive stimuli that promote the comprehensive development of the players.”

Ages, schedule, and timings

The school is open to boys and girls born between 2010 and 2021, covering Cadet, Infantil, Alevín, Benjamín, Prebenjamín, and Baby categories. The season will start on September 15, 2025, and run until June 7, 2026, following Sevilla’s school calendar.

Each student will be assigned to a team with two one-hour training sessions per week, at 5:30 PM, 6:30 PM, or 7:30 PM. Fridays will be reserved for competitions and internal events, reinforcing the program’s fun and social component.
However, due to high demand, many groups are already full.

Complete sports kit

Enrolled students will receive a full kit from Adidas, including two match kits (shirt, shorts, and socks), a tracksuit, a training sweatshirt, a rain jacket, and a backpack, ensuring that all students can enjoy the experience wearing the official Sevilla FC colors.

A promising future

The overwhelming response from families confirms the project’s strong health and the confidence it inspires in the Sevilla FC Academy. With record enrollments, a demanding calendar, and the exciting addition of participation in federation competitions, the Antonio Puerta School faces the new season with the challenge of continuing to train young athletes under the guiding values of Sevilla FC.

The new season at Sevilla FC Academy – Antonio Puerta is already being lived with great excitement from day one. While official training begins in September, the action is already underway with unforgettable moments like the participation of our students in the 14th Antonio Puerta Trophy, held this Monday at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium.

The boys and girls from the academy had a once-in-a-lifetime experience, attending the match from the Preferencia stands and taking center stage on the pitch after the game between Sevilla FC and Al-Qadsiah. They posed for an emotional group photo at midfield and were surprised by special visits from honorary president Joaquín Caparrós and team captain Nemanja Gudelj, who both joined in to share the moment and take souvenir photos with the students.

These memories mark just the beginning of a season full of football, learning, values, and Sevillismo. The Sevilla FC Academy offers a high-quality training environment where sporting progress is combined with fun and safety — all under the guidance of club professionals and with access to top-level facilities.

This year, several academy teams will also compete in official federated competitions, representing a major step forward in the commitment to competitive development and the holistic growth of our students.

Registration for the 2025/26 season is still open, with limited spots available for children born between 2010 and 2021. There’s still time to become part of the Sevilla FC family and train like a true professional.

What better way to live your Sevillismo than on the pitch, wearing the badge on your chest and surrounded by those who share your same passion?

Last week marked the final two visits of first-team players to the Antonio Puerta Football School. On this occasion, Carmona, Kike Salas, and Gudelj were the featured guests, spending time with various student groups during training and sharing moments that included photos and friendly chats.

These visits aim to bring young athletes closer to their role models while reinforcing the core values championed by the school: tolerance, teamwork, motivation, and commitment. This initiative aligns with the school’s broader mission: to teach football, develop athletes, and most importantly, shape well-rounded individuals.

The event served as a fitting end to an exciting season, just ahead of the opening of registration for the 2025/26 academic year. It’s worth noting that enrollment is open to all children, regardless of their skill level. The program includes medical check-ups during the first term, as well as the support of a dedicated team of psychologists to assist with student integration.

As part of its educational approach, the school also runs the Antonio Puerta Educational League, held on Friday afternoons starting in November at the Ciudad Deportiva.

The Integra Association visited the facilities of the Ciudad Deportiva José Ramón Cisneros Palacios of Sevilla FC, specifically the Antonio Puerta Football School, on the occasion of World Autism Day.

The activity, organized by the Sevilla FC Foundation, aims to promote sports as a means of social integration, serving as an example. It included a brief talk by Salvador Bernal to the School’s players, highlighting the importance of social integration and sports as a way to achieve it.

The joint activity between both teams began with a training session and ended with a match in which players from the Integra Association, the Antonio Puerta Football School, and members of Sevilla Genuine were able to share a team and enjoy an enriching sports experience.

The students of the Antonio Puerta Football School didn’t want to wait and took advantage of the Royal Postman’s first visit to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán to personally deliver their letters to Their Majesties, the Three Wise Men. The children arrived at Sevilla FC’s stadium in age-based groups and received a Sevilla-themed gift from the Royal Postman.

This special gift will be available to everyone who hands in their letters at Gate 2 of the stadium until January 4. Additionally, the Antonio Puerta School students enjoyed the festive attractions set up at the Gol Sur esplanade for Christmas celebrations.

The Antonio Puerta School continues to accept registrations for the current season, and more information can be found via the provided link.

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.
