A New Chapter Begins: Sevilla FC Gears Up for the 2026/27 Season
After a rollercoaster campaign, Sevilla FC is officially turning the page and preparing for the 2026/27 season. Under the tactical guidance of Luis García Plaza, the squad has already returned to the Ciudad Deportiva José Ramón Cisneros Palacios to begin an intensive training regime.
While the squad is currently operating at partial capacity—with several key players still competing in the 2026 World Cup or recovering from injuries—the atmosphere in the Andalusian capital is one of renewal and ambition. The goal is clear: arrive at the LaLiga season opener against Rayo Vallecano in peak physical and tactical condition.
The First Test: Sevilla vs Juventud Torremolinos
The excitement begins this Saturday, July 11, as Sevilla FC faces Juventud de Torremolinos at the Estadio Jesús Navas. This opening friendly is more than just a warm-up; it marks the first opportunity for fans to see the new signings brought in by José Ignacio Navarro in a competitive setting.
Roadmap to Success: The Full Pre-Season Schedule
To ensure the team is fully synchronized, Luis García Plaza has designed a rigorous pre-season consisting of seven friendly matches across Spain and Europe. Here is the detailed roadmap:
