Sevilla FC Academy takes part in the Riso International Cup in Turin

The Sevilla FC Academy took part last weekend, from September 11 to 13, in the Riso International Cup held in Turin, Italy. The Sevilla FC Academy U12 B team had the opportunity to participate in an event that brought together different Italian and European academies, providing the young footballers with a competitive and social environment alongside players from different countries.

The tournament featured academies from clubs of recognized prestige, including Sassuolo, Genoa, Fiorentina, Torino and Brescia, as well as international teams such as Panathinaikos and Vitória Guimarães, among others.

During the tournament, the Sevilla FC Academy U12 B team faced the academies of Spezia, Juventus and Nottingham Forest, playing three matches that allowed the players to experience different competitive environments and come up against different methodologies and playing styles from those they are accustomed to.

Beyond the results, these types of experiences represent an opportunity to continue the players’ development process. Competing against academies from different countries allows the players to adapt to new situations, discover different ways of understanding football and put into practice the concepts they have worked on throughout the season in a different environment.

The experience also had an important educational and personal component. Sharing days of competition with teams from other countries encourages values such as respect, teamwork, social interaction and adaptability, all of which form part of the holistic development that the Sevilla FC Academy seeks to promote among its players.

Taking part in this tournament in Turin therefore represents another international experience for the Sevilla FC Academy and an opportunity for its young footballers to continue growing both on and off the pitch, gaining experiences that contribute to their sporting and personal development.
