The ‘Sevilla FC Chair: University, Business, and Sport’ at Pablo de Olavide University (UPO) opened the reception period for works for the III edition of the Manuel Blasco Garzón Award on November 20. Through this award, excellence is recognized in the best Bachelor’s and Master’s degree projects presented by students enrolled at UPO, both in official programs and in continuing education. With this initiative, Sevilla FC, through its Innovation Center, aims to promote study, research initiation, and knowledge transfer in various fields of knowledge. The list of finally accepted works 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 leadership the club won two Copa de Andalucía trophies, hired the first doctor in the club’s history, organized the first team gatherings, and secured the Reina Victoria Stadium as the venue for the Copa de España final, contested between FC Barcelona and Club Arenas de Guecho. Not to mention that he welcomed into his board a young man destined to write the club’s finest chapters: Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. Blasco Garzón was also a ubiquitous figure in Sevillian social and cultural life at the time, serving, among other positions, as president of the Ateneo de Sevilla and promoting projects aimed at bringing cultural standards to neighborhoods and contributing to citizens’ education, aiding the fight against illiteracy.
