The Stadium of Sevilla: Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán

During the 1982 World Cup in Spain, two matches were played in the stadium, including the semi-final between Germany and France (with the infamous Schumacher – Battiston incident). In the 1990s, the capacity dropped to 43,000 after UEFA banned standing room in stadiums. Currently, the stadium has a capacity of 43,883.

The atmospheric stadium has a special status not only among Sevilla fans. Spain’s national team played 25 international matches there, remaining unbeaten (20 wins, 5 draws).

It is not only the inside of the stadium that looks great. On the outside, a number of beautiful mosaics can be seen. On the occasion of the 1982 World Cup, the club crest was displayed, along with the logos of 60 other clubs that have played in the stadium. There are also pictures of club trophies, club legends and a tribute to Antonio Puerta, the midfielder who died after suffering cardiac arrest during a match at the Estadio Pizjuán in 2007.

By Bus

There are a number of bus lines in the centre of Seville that stop close to the stadium: B3, C1, C2, 5, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, 32 and EA (the Airport Shuttle). Get off at the Eduardo Dato stop or the Luis de Morales stop. These stations are located a few hundred metres from the stadium.

By Taxi

A taxi ride in Seville is a lot cheaper than in most other countries. Official taxis are white with a diagonal yellow line and always drive with a meter. You can just stop the taxi on the street; if the taxi is available, a green light on the roof will light up. From the city centre, you should pay no more than €10 for a ride to the stadium.

Stadium Tour and Museum

Your football trip is not complete without a look behind the scenes with the Sevilla FC Stadium Tour. In 2018, Sevilla FC opened a new museum, which is six times larger than before.

You start the Tour in the museum, where the history of the club is shown in four large halls. You’ll also find all the shirts worn over the years, and of course the many trophies. Nowhere else in the world will you find a trophy cabinet with no less than six Europa League cups. You then visit the VIP boxes and VIP Suite of the president, the press room, changing rooms, players’ tunnel, the pitch and finally the Club Store. All in all, the tour lasts about 75 minutes.

Normally, it is possible to take the tour on Saturdays from 11am to 9pm and on Sundays from 11am to 3pm. On match days there is no tour, as well as the day before and after a European Cup match.

Be sure to book in advance through the website. Time slots are used and at some times the tour can also be booked on weekdays.

Snacks and Drinks Near the Stadium

Since Seville attracts tourists from all over the world, you will never have to search long for a restaurant or bar. The area around Seville FC’s home ground is also teeming with eateries. Right next to the stadium is the Nervión Plaza shopping centre, where you will find several places to eat. Also in the streets around the stadium are plenty of tapas bars and pubs. We have picked some favourites for you.

Information about Sevilla FC

Sevilla FC was founded in 1890, although the first official match was not played until 1914. The club achieved great success in the 30s and 40s: in 1935, 1939 and 1948 they won the Spanish Cup, and in 1946 the first (and only) national championship. To be able to compete with superpower Real Madrid for a long time, the Estadio Pizjuán was built, but due to many setbacks, the construction costs rose to an astronomical level. As a result, there was no money left to play a significant role in the league. The club was relegated in 1968. In 1997 and 2000, Sevilla also relegated to the Segunda División.

Only in the new millennium did the club return to the top, mainly thanks to the breakthrough of a large number of talents. In 2006 Sevilla won both the UEFA Cup and the European Supercup. A year later it also won the UEFA Cup. Sevilla FC then made history by winning the (now called Europa League) Cup in 2014, 2015 and 2016 as well. In 2020, the Cup was even won for a sixth time; Inter were beaten 3-2 in the final. In La Liga, Sevilla has always been in the top four in recent years, and is secretly dreaming of a second league title. A strong asset is the frenzied public, which makes for a very intimidating atmosphere.

Sevilla FC’s big rival is, of course, city rival Betis Sevilla. This club was founded in 1907 by renegade members of Sevilla FC. The social background also played a role. Sevilla FC was especially loved by the middle class, while Betis was known as a leftist working-class club. Although this no longer plays a role, and Sevilla FC has considerably surpassed its city rival in terms of performance, the derby is still one of the most charged matches in the Spanish league.

The club song – the aforementioned Himno Centenario – was composed in 2005 by local musician El Arrebato and immediately reached the number one position in the Spanish charts. At every match, both home and away, the fans sing the song at the top of their voices. New players are expected to sing the song as soon as possible.

The Sevilla FC Jersey

Sevilla have always worn the same jersey: a white shirt (with red accents), white trousers and black socks. At the beginning of the 20th century, white was the most common colour of football shirts, as it was the best available and cheapest option. Nevertheless, in the early years, people considered playing in the red and white striped shirt of Sunderland. This was to happen in a friendly against Huelva in 1909. Because the ordered shirts arrived too late, Sevilla decided to play in white. After that, the board decided that white would remain the permanent colour. When the ordered Sunderland shirts arrived, it was decided to keep this shirt as the second jersey. That is also the reason why the club’s away jersey is still red.

What to do in Seville?

Seville is not known as an open-air museum for nothing. Greeks, Romans, Moors, Vikings; they have all left their traces in the city. You stumble over the historical monuments, gardens, parks, churches and palaces. In addition, Seville is a city like you imagine Spain to be: flamenco music, blossoming orange trees, excellent tapas and, of course, bright sunshine (Seville is the hottest city in Europe). We have listed a number of sights that you should not miss.
