'''Sevilla Fútbol Club''' are a
Spain Spanish football club who play in
La Liga. The club was established on
October 14 1905, making it the oldest football club from
Seville, and the second oldest from
Andalucia. The club is currently in the midst of celebrating its 100th anniversary this season.
Sevilla FC's stadium is named after its former president
Ramón Sánchez Pizjúan and has a spectator capacity of 45,500. Sevilla's performance in
La Liga in the last few seasons has led to an increase in the number of season ticket holders, making it necessary to create a waiting list for tickets.
History
The Early Years (1905-1948)
On October 14, 1905, the Civil Governor of Seville officially announced the creation of Sevilla F.C. The first president of the club was D. José Luis Gallegos. In 1908, the team played its first official game, against
Recreativo Huelva. In 1914, the team won its first Copa de Sevilla (Seville Cup). In 1935, Seville won the first of its three national cup trophies, beating Sabadell 3-0. After the
Spanish Civil War, Sevilla won the first
Copa del Rey Copa del GeneralÃsimo, beating
Racing de Ferrol by a score of 6-2.
The 1939-40 season also brought Sevilla very close to its first
La Liga championship. The league had just returned after the
Spanish Civil War, and Sevilla had some incredible games, beating
FC Barcelona Barcelona 11-1,
Valencia 10-3 and Hércules 8-3. However, in the last game of the season, Sevilla could only manage to tie Hércules 3-3, thus giving the title to
Atlético Aviación. In 1942-1943, Sevilla took second place in the league again but fell to third the next year. After a transitional year, in 1945-1946, Sevilla won its first and (so far) only
La Liga title. In 1948, Sevilla captured its third and (so far) last
Copa del Rey, defeating Celta Vigo 4-1 in Chamartin Stadium.
Sevilla FC in Europe
Sevilla FC also have a long tradition of European football, being the first Andalusian club to play the European Cup (now known as the
UEFA Champions League) in the
1957-
1958 58 season. Sevilla have appeared in the
Cup Winners Cup once, and is playing in the
UEFA Cup for the 8th time in their history in the
2005-
2006 06 season.
On
2006-03-16, Sevilla FC booked a place in the quarterfinals of the 2005-2006
UEFA Cup in their 50th game in European competition. A week before, Sevilla FC had lost 1-0 to
Lille OSC in France in the first leg of their home-and-away match, but on
2006-03-16 at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, Sevilla won 2-0 to advance to the next round of the competition, with quarterfinal matches against
FC Zenit Saint Petersburg FC Zenit to be held
2006-03-30 and

Rivalry with Betis/The Derby
In 1909, disagreement among some members of the directive board led to a minor split from which the team Betis was born; later in 1914
Real Betis Balompie was founded from the union of Betis and Sevilla Balompié. The myth says that this split was due to the fact that Sevilla FC refused to sign a player because he was a "simple worker"; there is not documentation to prove this fact, besides there is no identity for such a decisive individual, and no explanation of how a "simple worker" had the chance to play football, considering the working conditions at the time.
On October 8, 1915, the first Sevilla-Betis derby took place, ending with a 4-3 Sevilla victory. The cross-town rivalry is considered one of the strongest (if not ''the'' strongest) in Spain.
76 derbies have been played in La Liga. Sevilla FC has won 34 of them, Real Betis has won 26, and 16 ended with a draw.
Two derbies have been played during the 2005/06 season. Sevilla FC beat Real Betis 1-0 at the Sanchez Pizjuan on November 19, 2005. Real Betis beat Sevilla FC, 2-1, on April 2, 2006 at the Ruiz de Lopera. Sevilla is 15 points ahead of Betis in the general standings of La Liga.
Club Information
Kit
The team wears white, with some red details, for home games and red, with white bits, for away games.
Biris
The most loyal fans of the team (those who sit in the lower section of the north end of the stadium) call themselves ''Biris''. They got their name from
Alhaji Momodo Njle, who was nicknamed Biri-Biri. Alhaji, a Gambian player known for his intensity and mercurial nature, was so popular with the Sevilla fans that the most loyal fans named their cheering section (and thus, themselves) after him.
What's Unique about Sevilla FC
Sevilla is a particularly unique football club as the club is owned by the
fan (aficionado) fans, with the
stock distributed across a few major holders and a large base of fans. The club supports one of the most renowned training academies in the country, which has produced many famous players.
Sevilla FC has also promoted innovations such as a school of
Sports psychology sports psychologists, who provide support for the younger as well as the professional players, and also more recently sports
nutrition and medicine. Another recent success for Sevilla FC has been the establishment of its own
radio station, Sevilla FC Radio, the first of its kind in Spain.
Honours
Before the Spanish national competitions started, Sevilla also won 17 Andalusian Championships, and were crowned twice as Champions of Sevilla.
