Sevilla FГєtbol Club was founded on October 14, 1905 and its first competitive match was played in 1908. The nickname Rojiblancos means The Red and White, Sevillistas means The Sevillians, NerviГіnenses refers to the neighborhood of NerviГіn where the stadium is located. Palanganas also references the club's colors but in a unique way - a palangana is a washbasin in Spanish and in earlier times were always white with red trim, similar to the colors of Sevilla. NerviГіn is a neighborhood in the east of Seville. The club's logo has been in use since 1922 and includes the club colors of red and white, a old-style football in the center, the original logo (with the letters SFC) and the three patron saints of Seville - San Isidro, San Leandro and San Fernando.
The early years of the 21st century have been some of the club's best - 2 UEFA Cups, 2 Copas del Rey, 1 Spanish Super Cup and 1 European Super Cup - quite a haul for a club that hadn't won a major trophy in almost sixty years.
Estadio RamГіn SГЎnchez PizjuГЎn:
The stadium is named for a former club president who led the Rojiblancos for over twenty years and was instrumental in the project to create the stadium. It was built in 1958, adjacent to the previous Estadio de NerviГіn.
Previous Stadiums: Prado de San SebastiГЎn (1905-13), Campo del Mercantil (1913-18), Reina Victoria (1918-28), Estadio de NerviГіn (1928-58).
