Sevilla FC creates an international team

Sevilla FC will have from this season a new team integrating its competitive structure. It will be a squad with a marked international character that will start competing in the Tercera Andaluza and will be formed mostly by foreign players over 18 years of age, in accordance with FIFA regulations. This is a project not only of a sporting nature, but also of international strategic development, through which foreign players will be given a place, regardless of their potential on the field of play, to help the club grow in different markets of interest.

This is a new pillar of the internationalization of sports at Sevilla FC and will be coordinated by the club’s Innovation Center, a platform that brings together the entire innovation proposal that Sevilla FC offers to the world of sport, as a result of the promotion and development of R+D+i projects that make it possible to respond to new trends and consumer demands in the sector. The new international team will have the normal and customary treatment of the rest of the youth teams, with its own coaching staff, analysis, physical preparation, media coverage and medical service, and the facilities of the sports city at its disposal. In this first season of life it will not be a 100% foreign team for operational reasons, an objective that will be achieved progressively in the coming seasons. In order to finalize the formation of the team, a trial period will be held during the first week of August, which is open to all U-19 players of foreign nationality who are interested in forming part of this innovative project under the Sevilla FC brand.

The team will be coached this season by Óscar Olomo, a coach with extensive experience in the club’s Femenino B, along with his assistant coach Antonio González, a former canterano of the club who also comes from the Femenino B team.
