Sevilla FC D, the club’s international team, has added a new signing with the arrival of Sebastian Fineman. The Swedish forward has now joined the team’s training regime and experienced his first training sessions under the guidance of Óscar Olomo and his coaching staff.

“I feel very good. I’m enjoying the city and the team. There are great teammates and coaches. We have good chemistry. So far, I’m really enjoying it. It’s much warmer here than in Sweden. You know, there’s snow and all that in winter back home, but I like the warm weather, so it’s not a problem for me,” he commented on his initial impressions with the club.

The footballer has set himself the goal of learning Spanish for optimal integration, though he appreciates the positive atmosphere with his teammates and the coaching staff led by Óscar Olomo: “It’s a big change, of course. I have to adapt and try to learn a bit of Spanish to communicate with my teammates. We try to communicate with gestures and simple words, so it’s going well.”

Fineman, who describes himself as “a good finisher and a strong player,” acknowledges that playing for Sevilla FC is a tremendous opportunity: “Being a part of this means a lot. It’s a great club and a big opportunity for me to show what I can do on the field, and I hope everything goes well.” Finally, he highlighted Jesús Navas as a source of inspiration: “He’s a club legend, has done so much, and is the face of the club, and I enjoy watching him play.”

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 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.”

The Sevilla FC Innovation Center continues to expand its training offer and has created a new project called ‘Sevilla FC Goalkeeping Academy’, an activity that will meet the need to provide technical, tactical, physical and psychological training to soccer goalkeepers.

It will be focused on categories from pre-benjamin to senior and will be open to individuals as well as clubs, schools and semi-professionals.

Through the ‘Sevilla FC Goalkeeping Academy’ the goalkeeper will be developed in all facets, both sporting (improving his performance and quality) and personal (improving his ability to concentrate and commitment to the club). In addition, the technical-tactical aspects of the goalkeeper will be worked on both individually and as part of a team, so that he can also develop in his collective facet, which is necessary to carry out his work within the group itself.

The Nigerian Professional Football League and Sevilla FC establish a collaboration agreement

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.
