- Sevilla FC Academy USA
Sevilla FC Academy will serve as the methodological partner of the California-based club, creating a development pathway for its coaches and players. The agreement reinforces the Academy’s commitment to American talent while further strengthening the international reach of the Sevilla FC brand and values.
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.
