List of accepted works in the IV edition of the Blasco Garzón Award

The ‘Cátedra Sevilla FC: Universidad, Empresa y Deporte’ at the Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO) opened the submission period for the III edition of the Manuel Blasco Garzón Award on November 20. This award recognizes the excellence of the best Bachelor’s and Master’s theses presented by students enrolled at UPO, both in official degrees and in continuing education programs. Through this initiative, Sevilla FC, via its Innovation Center, aims to promote study, research initiation, and knowledge transfer across various fields. The list of accepted submissions can be consulted at this link.

The Manuel Blasco Garzón Award pays tribute to the memory of the former president of Sevilla FC, under whose tenure the club won two Andalusian Cups, hired the first doctor in the club’s history, organized the first training camps, and secured the hosting of the Spanish Cup final at the Reina Victoria Stadium, contested between FC Barcelona and Club Arenas de Guecho. Additionally, his board included a young man destined to write the greatest chapters in the club’s history: Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. Blasco Garzón was also a prominent figure in Seville’s social and cultural life at the time, serving, among other roles, as president of the Ateneo de Sevilla and promoting projects aimed at bringing culture to local neighborhoods, contributing to citizens’ education, and helping combat illiteracy.
