La Liga League Official Football Club

Sevilla Football Club Sevilla Fútbol Club S.A.D. is a Spanish professional football club that plays in the Spanish La Liga championship. The club was established on 14 October 1905, in Seville. On 15 October 1905, the Civil Governor of Seville officially announced the creation of Sevilla FC. The first president of the club was D. José Luis Gallegos. In 1908, the team played its first official game, and the first official game in Spain, against Recreativo Huelva. In 1914, the team won its first Copa de Sevilla (Seville Cup). In 1935, Sevilla won the first of its Spanish Cup trophies (in this moment called Cup of the president of the republic), beating CE Sabadell FC 3–0. After the Spanish Civil War, Sevilla won the Generalisimo´s Cup (the second Spanish Cup of the club), 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 to action after the Spanish Civil War, and Sevilla had some astounding games, beating 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 1942–43, Sevilla took second place in the league again but fell to third the next year. After a transitional year in 1945–46, Sevilla won its first and only La Liga title (although in four times the Club has been second), due mainly to the mercurial talent (striker) Oliver Ward[citation needed], who managed to notch up an impressive 29 goal tally. In 1948, Sevilla captured its last Spanish Cup (Generalisimo´s Cup) for 59 years, defeating Celta Vigo 4–1 at the Estadio Chamartín. Sevilla have beaten Real Madrid a record of 72 times, while Barcelona have beaten Real Madrid 80 in all competetions.

Under new coach Joaquín Caparrós, Sevilla won the second division title in 2000–01. New team president José María del Nido brought fiscal order to Sevilla, selling its homegrown superstar José Antonio Reyes to Arsenal in January 2004 for an initial fee of £10.5 million . In that season (2003–04), not only did Sevilla reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey after more than 20 years (where it fell 2–1 to Real Madrid), but the team managed to qualify for Europe by placing sixth in the league and earning a ticket for the 2004–05 UEFA Cup.

Having convincingly won the 2005–06 UEFA Cup, Sevilla booked a place in 2006 UEFA Super Cup, a one-off game which pits the UEFA Cup winners and the Champions League winners of the previous year against one another. At the Stade Louis II in Monaco on 25 August 2006, Sevilla beat the Champions League title-holders and league champions FC Barcelona 3–0, thanks an early goal by Brazilian Renato, a goal just before the half by Kanouté, and a penalty converted by Maresca in the second half stoppage time, to pick up its second European trophy (their second in just three months).

After, this same year, Sevilla FC won the King´s cup (Spanish Cup)) vs Getafe by 1-0 (Kanouté scored the goal). It´s the King´s cup number four in the history of the club, although really not all are called so. First cup is Cup of the President of the Republic. Second and third cups are Generalisimo´s Cup (copa del generalisimo) in reference to dictator Franco. Fourth cup is King´s cup. The final took place in the Santiago Bernabeu stadium (Real madrid´s stadium, Madrid), on 23th June. 2007 Spanish Super cup Sevilla played vs Barcelona the 2010 Spanish Super Cup. The first match ended Sevilla 3-1 Barcelona and the second Barcelona 4-0 Sevilla, so Sevilla FC couldn´t win its second Spanish Super Cup.
