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.
