A debut that goes beyond the scoreboard

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

Clean Sheet!

Sevilla FC “D” continues their flawless run at the start of the competition with another victory, once again keeping a clean sheet—this time on the road. Óscar Olomo’s starting eleven featured as many as seven new faces, a reflection of the team’s impressive depth and balance.

In the 42nd minute, an excellent long pass from Pablo García behind the defensive line allowed Javi Estévez to exploit the right flank, get past his marker, and deliver a final pass that Abdullah Aljirafi only needed to guide with his left foot into the back of the net. In the second half, in the 89th minute, Parker Byas’s determination in winning an aerial duel and sprinting into open space led to a precise assist for Manu Cruzado, who finished expertly to seal the match.

Three more points on a day with different protagonists but the same outcome—both in the scoreline and at their own goal—serving to strengthen the collective effort of the entire squad and coaching staff.

Starting XI – Sevilla FC “D”:
Mamour, Nacho González (C), Gavyn Nobles, David Torres, Javi Estévez, Pablo García, Fidel Morán, Raymond Higham, Pedro Berruezo, Abdullah Aljirafi, and Khalid Aljirafi.

Sevilla FC Academy fills Los Alcores Shopping Center with Sevillismo

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.

Three Points to Start

Sevilla FC Juvenil “D” began their journey in official competition with a trip to Alcalá de Guadaíra to face CD Pablo VI in the opening round of the 4th Andalusian Juvenile Division.

The Sevillista side took the lead early, when in the 9th minute Mario Estefan found the net for the first time against the home goalkeeper. After the hosts equalized before the break, an excellent second half saw David Espinel restore the lead before Salva Ballesta sealed the win with a stoppage-time strike.

The match also provided an opportunity for two cadete-age players, David Espinel and Ubaldo Martín, to feature. Both showcased the high level of Sevilla’s academy and their ability to step up categories. David scored the second goal and was key in the build-up to the third, while Ubaldo, a left-footed centre-back who played the entire second half, helped keep a clean sheet during his time on the pitch.
