Estefan Mario Renews with Sevilla FC

Sevilla FC continues to shape its teams ahead of the upcoming season by securing the continuity of Estefan Mario Roibu, who will continue wearing the Sevilla shirt following an outstanding campaign with Juvenil “D”, coached by Rafa Ortega.

During the past season, the midfielder established himself as one of the team’s key players in midfield, showcasing his talent, work ethic and commitment in every match. Estefan Mario played an important role in the team’s style of play, contributing both to build-up and in the final third.

His numbers highlight his importance to the team. In 25 appearances, the midfielder scored 25 goals and provided 13 assists, making a decisive contribution to a remarkable season that culminated in promotion to Tercera Andaluza Juvenil. The team also completed an outstanding campaign by securing promotion as the only unbeaten side in the competition.

Now, Estefan Mario faces a new challenge within the Sevilla FC structure. The player will step up to Sevilla FC “D”, a team that will be coached by Óscar Olomo, who already worked with him on several occasions last season and knows his qualities and development first-hand.

With this renewal, Sevilla FC continues to invest in the development of a talented, hard-working and committed player, who will continue to grow within the club’s structure with the aim of taking further steps in his footballing development.

Continuity in the Juvenil “D” Coaching Staff for the 2026/27 Season

Rafa Ortega will return to the Juvenil “D” dugout for a second consecutive season after winning the league title and securing promotion to the 3ª Andaluza Juvenil last season, completing the entire campaign unbeaten. The challenge will remain the same: to integrate and develop the talent of the different players who will make up the squad as they progress towards professional football.

José Carlos Herrera will continue alongside him as the team’s fitness coach, also returning for a second consecutive season. His aim will be to maintain a positive influence on injury prevention and the development of the players’ physical conditioning. Paco Salvago will also remain in his role, once again taking responsibility for the specialised training of the Juvenil team’s goalkeepers.

The coaching staff will be completed by the arrival of Daniel Fernández Macías as assistant coach. Fernández is a coach at the Sevilla FC Academy and was part of the CD AD Nervión staff that achieved promotion to the Segunda Andaluza Sénior last season. Francisco Javier Méndez Castro also joins the group responsible for supporting the development of our young talents, taking on the role of team delegate.

The team will begin pre-season on 10 August with an initial series of fitness tests, following the relevant medical examinations. With this coaching structure in place, Juvenil “D” approaches the new season with ambition and continuity, reinforcing its commitment to the development and education of young footballers in a highly demanding environment.

Sevilla FC “D” Finalise Coaching Staff for the 2026/27 Season

Óscar Olomo will begin his third season at the helm of Sevilla FC “D”. Olomo continues to build his experience leading the project, following several previous seasons working with the club’s Women’s B team, with the aim of continuing to develop the talent of the different players who will make up the squad.

Antonio Muñoz García joins the coaching staff this season as assistant coach. Last season, he managed the club’s Alevín “D” side, guiding them to promotion after finishing top of their division. Antonio is entering his second consecutive season at the Carretera de Utrera, having previously joined the club from CD AD Nervión.

He replaces Antonio José González, who, after two years with the project, will make the step up to the Segunda Federación as assistant coach of Club Atlético Antoniano. The club would like to thank Antonio for his excellent work over the past two seasons and wish him every success in his next challenge.

There are also changes in the fitness department, with Eduardo García taking over as the team’s fitness coach. García, a coach and fitness specialist at the club, will begin his second season with the organisation. He replaces Pablo Díaz, whom we thank for his work during the previous campaign. Díaz will remain at the club with another of our Academy teams, as part of the club’s policy of rotating its professional staff.

Fran Díaz Bulnes will be responsible for the development of our goalkeepers. He previously performed part of this role while supporting José Luis Gil. Now taking sole charge, we wish Fran every success in overseeing the development of our goalkeepers and thank Luis for his invaluable contribution last season.

Finally, Diego Vega will accompany the team for a third consecutive season as team delegate.

With this coaching structure in place, Sevilla FC “D” approach the new season with ambition and continuity, strengthening the club’s commitment to the development and education of young footballers in a highly demanding environment.

We’re Bringing Our Methodology to California: Summer Camp with AC Brea

Just a few weeks ago we signed our strategic partnership with AC Brea Soccer Club, a leading youth soccer organization in Orange County. Now we’re taking it onto the field.

From August 3 to 5, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Brea Sports Park becomes an extension of our training ground in Sevilla. Three days. Sevilla FC coaches arriving directly from Spain. The same methodology we work with every single day at our Ciudad Deportiva: positional play, speed of play, decision-making under pressure, technical repetition and mastery, small-sided tactical scenarios, and transition behaviors. With dedicated goalkeeper sessions. Open to boys and girls ages 8 to 18, all skill levels welcome.

The Summer Soccer Spoke Spanish

The United States has just lived its World Cup. And the trophy has traveled to Spain, after the July 19 final in New Jersey.

That’s no accident. Behind that title there’s a school of thought: a way of understanding the game, of developing players from the ground up, of teaching them to decide with the ball. That school is ours. What arrives in Brea this August isn’t just another summer camp. It’s direct access to the methodology of a country that is once again the global benchmark in player development.

A milestone that means something special to us at Sevilla FC: the coach who led Spain to that title, Luis de la Fuente, was forged in our own academy — where he coached a generation that included Sergio Ramos and Jesús Navas.

American Talent, Sevilla Identity

This connection didn’t start today. Last season, nearly twenty American players were part of our academy. Two of them Californians: Ben Khamison, who earned promotion with our Juvenil D side, and Gavyn Nobles.

More and more often, we get to enjoy the talent that crosses the Atlantic and finds a home to grow here in Sevilla. With this camp, we’re reversing the journey: this time, we’re the ones going to California.

The United States, All Year Round

This camp opens a cycle. Our presence in the United States doesn’t end in August. Our partnership with AC Brea includes ongoing methodological support for their coaching staff and a development pathway for their players, running throughout 2027.

We want to be part of the growth of American soccer by contributing what we do best: developing people and players with the Sevilla FC stamp.

Camp Details

Dates: August 3, 4 and 5, 2026 (Monday to Wednesday)
Time: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM daily
Location: Brea Sports Park. 3333 E Birch St, Brea, CA 92821
Ages: 8 to 18, boys and girls, all skill levels
Cost: $350 per player (includes all training sessions, facility use, and official camp jersey)

Registration: https://playmetrics.com/signup?clubToken=TG9naW4tQ2x1Yi52MS04NTItMTc4ODIzMjQzOXxiaG02NE96YnN0UFJSWXI3ZDg3ZGV5N1k1L3ZqZ0tGc3VTOHIvcys3VjVVPQ==&program_id=111776

See you in California.

Sevilla FC Academy Training Camps Reach New Heights with Record Participatio

More than 120 boys and girls enjoyed a unique experience this summer at the José Ramón Cisneros Palacios Training Ground, confirming the continued growth and success of the Sevilla FC Academy Training Camps as one of the Academy’s flagship development programmes.

The Sevilla FC Academy Training Camps have once again concluded with an outstandingly successful edition. Over the course of two action-packed weeks, more than 120 young footballers aged between 5 and 14 enjoyed a unique experience designed to help them learn, develop and have fun through football in the very same environment where Sevilla FC’s Academy teams train every day.

Following the official Sevilla FC methodology, participants took part in age- and ability-appropriate training sessions led by coaches from the club’s sporting structure. All activities were delivered at the José Ramón Cisneros Palacios Training Ground, a world-class facility that has become an international benchmark for the development of young footballers.

This summer’s edition also stood out for offering a comprehensive experience that combined on-pitch training with recreational activities, exclusive visits and innovation workshops delivered by the Sevilla FC Innovation Center. During these sessions, participants had the opportunity to explore fields such as artificial intelligence, programming and technology applied to sport.

The camp concluded with two unforgettable highlights for every participant: a visit from Sevilla FC first-team players and a closing ceremony held on the pitch at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium, creating lasting memories for all the young footballers.

Now celebrating its twentieth edition, the Sevilla FC Academy Training Camps continue to evolve while staying true to their core mission: offering far more than a traditional summer football camp. Each edition provides boys and girls from different backgrounds with the opportunity to experience the Sevilla FC methodology, develop both their footballing and personal skills, and enjoy what it truly means to be part of the club.

Strategic Partnership with AC Brea

Sevilla FC Academy continues its international expansion with the signing of a strategic partnership with AC Brea Soccer Club, one of the leading youth soccer organizations in Orange County, California (USA).

The agreement represents a strategic milestone for both organizations, positioning Sevilla FC Academy as AC Brea’s official methodological partner. Our technical staff will work closely with the California club to enhance its sporting structure through an ongoing consultancy service covering training methodology, playing philosophy, player development, and coaching education.

The partnership also creates a dedicated development pathway for AC Brea’s coaches and players, providing access to the expertise of one of Europe’s most respected academies—one that has developed Spanish and world football legends such as Sergio Ramos and Jesús Navas.

A Partnership with an American Focus

For Sevilla FC Academy, this agreement marks another step in the international growth of the Sevilla FC brand. It enables us to share and further refine our player development methodology while strengthening our presence in the rapidly expanding U.S. soccer landscape. Last season alone, Sevilla FC’s academy included nearly twenty American players, including two Californians: Ben Khamison, who earned promotion with the U19 D team, and Gavyn Nobles.

The United States is experiencing an exciting period of growth in soccer. We are committed to being part of that journey by contributing what we do best: developing people and players under the Sevilla FC philosophy, supported by the proven success of Spanish football, a global benchmark in player development and talent identification.

Two Unforgettable Weeks at Our Sevilla FC Training Camps

The summer they will never forget has become a reality. More than 120 boys and girls aged 5 to 14 joined us for two unforgettable weeks at the Sevilla FC Training Camps, held from June 29 to July 10 at the José Ramón Cisneros Palacios Training Ground.

Over the course of ten days, our young participants trained every morning using Sevilla FC’s official methodology under the guidance of coaches from the club’s technical staff. Small training groups, individual attention, and an elite environment—including thirteen football pitches, high-performance gyms, and constant supervision from qualified coaches—provided the perfect setting for learning and development.

But our Training Camps are about much more than football. They’re also about creating unforgettable experiences. During the first week, participants enjoyed a day at Guadalpark, while the second week featured an exciting visit to Isla Mágica. Tournaments, water activities, workshops, and indoor sports complemented the football program, creating an atmosphere where sport and friendship went hand in hand.

One of this year’s major new features was an enhanced innovation program, with dedicated digital literacy workshops delivered by specialists in artificial intelligence, coding, and creative technology. Guided by professionals from the Sevilla FC Innovation Center, participants even designed, developed, and launched their own video game.

The finale was a fitting celebration of twenty years of history. On Thursday, first-team players visited our young footballers, sharing photos, autographs, and words of encouragement they will remember for years to come. Then, on Friday, a dream became reality as the camp concluded with a training session and closing ceremony at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium, giving participants the unforgettable opportunity to step onto the same pitch as their heroes.

Twenty years after the first edition, we remain committed to the same mission: developing footballers, but above all, developing people. With ambition, discipline, and character. Because true success is never given—it is earned every single day.

Thank you to all the families who placed their trust in us. We look forward to welcoming you back next summer for another edition of our Training Camps.

Before then, however, we head to California this August for the international edition of our Training Camp.

Never Surrender.

First week of Training Camps wraps up in style

Performance students focused on individual improvement, pushing themselves every day in the gym and on the pitch. Training Camp students took a different but equally valid approach: improving, having fun and combining it with other activities. Two paths, one shared excitement.

Technology also had its place. Through our Innovation Center, participants took programming classes tailored to each age group, learning to build a video game from scratch, among other things. Innovation is also part of our cantera.

Between training sessions, there was time for chess, cards and other board and traditional games. Strategy, logical thinking and teamwork, all through fun. Football activity was rounded out with multi-sport exercises at our climate-controlled functional assessment center. And as the highlight of the week: a visit to Guadalpark, a refreshing day where the water added even more fun for our students.

Friday marked the farewell for those attending only the first week. But the adventure continues: the second and final week of Training Camps starts next Monday, and a few spots are still available depending on age.

Chimezie Obi Extends His Contract with Sevilla FC: The First Major Success Story of the High-Performance Programme for International Talent

Obi arrived in Seville in 2024 from Akpo, in Nigeria’s Anambra State, and made an impression from day one. Shortly afterwards, he joined our High-Performance Programme for International Talent, launched in July 2024 with a clear objective: to identify, develop and integrate promising young footballers from around the world into Sevilla FC’s methodology and values.

“It hasn’t been easy, but with determination, dedication and hard work, I can achieve anything I set my mind to,” says the striker, who acknowledges how much he has developed in Nervión. “I have learnt things here that I had never learnt before, particularly in the technical and tactical aspects of football.”

Óscar Olomo, his coach during his time with Sevilla FC D, played a key role in that development. “He always pushes me beyond my limits. When I make a mistake, he corrects me straight away so that I can learn from it. I will never forget him,” says Obi. The coach repeatedly instilled in him an idea that has now become part of his Sevilla DNA: “If you want to reach the top, you have to work hard and put the team first.” His development was taken to the next level a year later under David Arteaga and his Sevilla C coaching staff.

From following Sevilla FC in Nigeria and dreaming of players such as Lucas Ocampos to wearing our badge every weekend—that is Obi’s journey. It is also the purpose of our High-Performance Programme: to ensure that talent, wherever it comes from, can find in Seville the ideal place to grow.

Chimezie’s story has only just begun, and we will be by his side every step of the way.

Sevilla FC Academy strengthens its commitment to the United States for the 2026/2027 season

World football is looking to North America. And so is Sevilla FC Academy. That’s why, coinciding with the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, we at Sevilla FC Academy are announcing that the 2026/2027 season will mark the largest presence of our sporting projects on U.S. soil to date.

Starting this very summer, we will bring our official camps to cities across the United States. Thousands of boys and girls will train the way we train in our youth academy — with our methodology and our values. The will and the way. Dreaming big and working every day to earn it. We speak the same language, even if in two different tongues. But we won’t stop there. Our teams will cross the ocean to take part in various events, in response to the rising level of North American football.

American talent already wears red and white

The United States is not a new market for Sevilla FC Academy. It is already part of our present history. Today, more than 15 American players are part of our academy — and we expect many more to come. Young players who arrived with a dream and the determination to chase it every day. They couldn’t have chosen a better home: at our Academy, ambition is not an option. It’s a requirement.

That’s why we will keep backing the United States as a priority market. To grow together. To develop the footballers of tomorrow. To bring together two cultures that share what matters most: the conviction that the only limit is the one you set yourself.

NEVER SURRENDER.

Sevilla FC Academy boosts its Training Camps in Jerez this summer

Following the success of its summer programs, Sevilla FC Academy is strengthening its presence in the province of Cádiz with two types of camps in Jerez de la Frontera: the Jerez Training Camp and the Jerez Residential Training Camp, both designed to provide training tailored to different player profiles.

Training Camp Jerez: training, learning, and fun

The Jerez Training Camp is aimed at young footballers who want to improve their technical and tactical skills in a dynamic, safe, and educational environment. Through training sessions adapted to each age group and skill level, participants work on key aspects of the game such as individual technique, decision-making, and physical development.

The program is complemented by additional activities that encourage teamwork, social interaction, and the core values of the Sevilla FC Academy methodology, including effort, respect, and personal growth.

Training Camp Jerez Residential: a high-performance experience

Meanwhile, the Jerez Residential Training Camp offers a comprehensive sports immersion experience aimed at players seeking a more complete high-performance environment.

Participants stay in a supervised and professional setting, where they combine specialized technical training with educational and team-building activities. The program is designed to enhance the player’s growth both on and off the pitch, reinforcing independence, discipline, and healthy sporting habits.

For more information, click here.

A methodology backed by Sevilla FC Academy

Both programs are delivered under the official Sevilla FC Academy methodology, recognized for its focus on the all-round development of players and its commitment to the technical, tactical, physical, and personal growth of young talent.

Through these initiatives, Sevilla FC Academy continues to strengthen its educational project and expand its model of excellence into new territories, reaffirming its commitment to grassroots football and values-based education.

Educational continuity with SAGE International College

These Training Camps also reinforce the strong ongoing relationship between Sevilla FC Academy and SAGE International College through the school program developed during the academic year. This collaboration allows continuous monitoring of students’ development within an integrated educational and sporting environment aligned with the club’s methodology.

As a result of this joint effort, several players from the College’s sports club have already been selected to take part in scouting trials with Sevilla FC’s youth academy teams, creating a genuine pathway between school education and high-performance football within the Sevilla FC ecosystem.
