Sevilla FC \u201cD\u201d thus completed its <strong>second season<\/strong> within the High-Performance Program, consolidating an initiative that has now become fully embedded in the club\u2019s competitive structure. Meanwhile, the Under-19 \u201cD\u201d wrapped up their <strong>first season<\/strong> in the best possible way, bringing their <strong>league champions trophy<\/strong> to the stadium as the crowning moment of a historic campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event was presided over by Pablo Blanco, Salvador Ballesta, Jose Mar\u00eda Cruz, Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00f3n Collado and Paul Chimezie Obi, who praised both the coaching staff and the squads, joined by family members in an atmosphere of pride and celebration at one of Spanish football\u2019s most iconic venues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the highlights of the evening was the address by <strong>Paul Chimezie Obi<\/strong>, Sevilla FC C player and now a professional footballer, who spoke to those present under the motto \u00ab<strong>Never Give Up<\/strong>\u00bb. Obi recalled that just last year he himself was sitting in those very same seats, making his journey the clearest proof of the programme\u2019s success: a real pathway from high performance to professional football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pablo Blanco<\/strong> also addressed the players alongside <strong>Salvador Ballesta<\/strong>, focusing on the values that have taken them to the top: commitment, discipline and the drive to always give one hundred per cent. Both sought to inspire the players to keep growing within the privileged environment that the Sevilla FC Academy provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To close the event, club officials recognised the work of the <strong>coaching staff<\/strong> with a club shirt, while individual awards were presented to both squads: the <strong>Top Scorer<\/strong>, the <strong>Top Assist Provider<\/strong>, the <strong>Season MVP<\/strong>, the <strong>Adopted Son Award<\/strong> and the award <strong>\u00abNever Give Up\u00bb<\/strong>. A tribute to the sporting and human values that define the identity of this programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event concluded with a <strong>commemorative photograph of both squads in the stands of the Ram\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez-Pizju\u00e1n Stadium<\/strong>, a perfect image to capture the spirit of an initiative that continues to spread the Sevilla FC brand worldwide and prove that talent, given the right environment, always finds its way to professional football.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an emotional ceremony held on 18 May at the Ram\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez-Pizju\u00e1n Stadium, Sevilla FC \u201cD\u201d and Under-19 \u201cD\u201d drew the curtain on their respective seasons, both part of the Sevilla FC Academy High-Performance Programme.
