Sevilla FC and Tanzanian Club Young Africans SC sign cooperation agreement

The president of the Tanzanian club, Hersi Ally Said, visited Sevilla FC’s facilities to formalize the sports collaboration agreement.

Sevilla FC and Young Africans SC have reached an agreement through which the African club joins the World Club Alliance Program. Under this partnership, Sevilla FC will provide specialized support and guidance aimed at fostering the growth of Young Africans SC, with a particular focus on developing its coaches and young academy players.

Founded in 1935, Young Africans SC is the most successful club in Tanzanian football, with a record of 31 league titles, including the last four seasons, in which it also achieved the double by winning the National Cup. The club is also recognized for its strong commitment to training and promoting local talent.

In January, the president of Young Africans SC, Hersi Ally Said, visited the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium to sign the agreement and held an institutional meeting with Sevilla FC’s president, José María del Nido Carrasco.

“For Sevilla FC, it is a pleasure to begin this collaboration with Young Africans SC and continue expanding our international network of partnerships with clubs, leagues, and federations, sharing our experience within the football industry. On this occasion, we are partnering with the most decorated club in Tanzania and we hope to contribute to the development of their youth talent program as well as the growth of their various business areas, being one of the clubs with the largest fan base in Africa,” stated Sevilla FC president José María del Nido Carrasco.

Hersi Ally Said added: “We are extremely proud that one of Spain’s most important clubs is joining forces with the biggest club in Tanzania, East Africa, and Africa as a whole. This partnership will be crucial in further advancing Young Africans’ development. Both our country and club strongly focus on grassroots development, and Sevilla FC has shown great expertise in nurturing players and guiding them to the highest level, always prioritizing the players’ best interests. We have full confidence in Sevilla and Spanish football, and this agreement represents a very valuable opportunity for our country.”

The Tanzanian club president also highlighted the club’s sporting achievements: “Young Africans is the most successful club in Tanzania, with 31 league titles, nine more than the second most successful club historically. We have also achieved notable success in national and continental competitions, reaching the final of the CAF Confederation Cup in 2023 and the quarterfinals of the CAF Champions League in the last two seasons. In terms of history and results, we are a reference point both in Tanzania and across Africa.”

We’ve reached 30 million followers on social media!

Sevilla FC continues to strengthen its position as one of the most influential clubs in Spain and across the European digital landscape. The club has recently reached a new communication milestone by surpassing 30 million followers across its official profiles worldwide.

In just two years, Sevilla FC has grown its digital community by 10 million users, consolidating its place as the fourth Spanish club with the largest social media following, behind only Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid. This sustained growth is the result of a clear strategy that uses social media as a direct channel for connection, information and entertainment for fans, while also driving the international expansion of the Sevilla FC brand through tailored plans for each market.

Driving Digital International Expansion

Sevilla FC maintains an active presence across the main social media platforms, with particularly strong growth on TikTok and Facebook in recent years. One of the key drivers behind this development has been the club’s internationalization strategy, which uses the digital environment as a vital tool to reach new audiences. Currently, the club communicates in six languages—Spanish, English, Arabic, Chinese and Portuguese—and has a strong footprint in strategic markets such as China, where it has already surpassed two million followers on local social networks, as well as in India, Mexico, the United States, the Middle East, Africa and South America.

Sevilla FC+, A Further Step in the Club’s Digital Transformation

As part of this process, the launch of Sevilla FC+, the club’s on-demand digital content platform, has provided an additional boost to its communication strategy. Since its launch, the platform has surpassed two million views, confirming fans’ strong interest in this new format.

Sevilla FC+ completes the club’s digital media transformation and offers content that is free, registration-based, or subscription-based. Club members have access included after renewing their season ticket for 2025-2026, simply needing to activate the service, while other users can choose from the available subscription plans.

Among the platform’s most notable content are live broadcasts, which have reached peak audiences, especially for preseason matches aired exclusively. Youth academy competitions also play a key role, available both through the subscription and in a pay-per-view format, along with the program El Partido.

The platform also features a carefully curated selection of premium on-demand content, including original productions such as the documentary Jesús Navas: Sobran las Palabras and 16, a series focusing on the club’s history, identity, and fan base. Users can also access historic matches, press conferences, and interviews, adapting to new digital consumption habits. This initiative was recognized with the award for Best New OTT Platform at the SportsPro Media Awards.

Sevilla FC’s Presence at WFS Riyadh 2025

Sevilla FC continues to strongly pursue its internationalization strategy and was one of the key participants at the World Football Summit Riyadh 2025. The club took part in one of the event’s roundtable discussions to present its international sporting projects.

Specifically, the club’s head of this area, José Collado, participated in a forum alongside Grintafy, Lenovo, and HPE to explain how Sevilla FC uses artificial intelligence in the development of its academy players. The visit also served to further strengthen ties with the main stakeholders in Arab football.

Strategic collaboration agreement with Grintafy

As a clear example of this commitment, Sevilla FC took advantage of its presence in Riyadh to announce the signing of a strategic agreement with Grintafy, the leading football talent discovery platform in the Middle East. The objective of this partnership is to support, train, and enhance young football talents in Saudi Arabia through the exchange of technical and administrative knowledge.

This initiative aligns with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, which promotes youth empowerment and the development of sport as a driver of social progress and international projection. In this context, both entities will work jointly on the implementation of training programs, camps, development activities, and coordinated actions that contribute to strengthening the football ecosystem in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the wider region.

Sevilla FC has maintained a strong and ongoing relationship with Saudi football for several seasons. This is reflected, among other aspects, in the incorporation of players Abdullah Aljirafi and Khalid Aljirafi into its academy. Currently, Abdullah Aljirafi is the top scorer for Sevilla FC “D,” averaging one goal per match, and also ranks fourth in the top scorers’ table of his category, establishing himself as one of the standout talents in the competition.

In addition, the club has strategic agreements with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation through its Future Falcons program, and during the past season it hosted the final of the prestigious Al-Abtal tournament at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium, reaffirming its commitment to youth talent development and to strengthening sporting ties between Spain and Saudi Arabia.
