Six weeks ago, an enthusiastic group of young people of British origin gathered in a café to discuss the possibility of a suggestion to create with an Athletic Association, the want of exercising being felt by the vast majority of us who are mostly involved in the business of. After much discussion and a small amount of beers and small sips of beer, the "Club of Football de Sevilla" was created and elected office bearers. The decision was made to play under Association rules. (...) Our team consisted of roughly halfway between Spanish and British

The most notable signing of the time included that of Spanish world-class forward Juan Arza. Also, there was the debut of Campanal's nephew, the defender Campanal II, along with his uncle acting as a trainer. In the 1950-51 season, with Campanal as manager, the squad was second within La Liga, two points in front of Atletico Madrid. Prior to the 1953-54 season, Argentinean coach Helenio Herrera was brought in. In his time as the club's manager the club was fifth in the season 1953-54 and fourth in 1954-55 and 1955-56 , and finished second only to Real Madrid in 1956-57. In 1954 the club decided to put the building of the new stadium up for tender in order to ensure that Nervion Stadium was becoming too small for the fans of the club. In the season 1954-55, Arza won the Pichichi Trophy as the league's most prolific scorer, scoring 28 goals.

"Dear Ramon, now your acquaintances, of whom I'm honored to have a part of will give you a Christian burial. Then, on the next day, when you will be laying your corpse to the ground we'll begin working. Your dream of having is that Sevilla FC has a grand stadium will be realized. Ramon take a peaceful journey in the heavens because your desires are going to be realized."

In keeping with his words, Carranza made obligation bonds that totaled 50 million pesetas. one months and half later Sanchez Pizjuan's passing the first stone of the construction of the stadium was laid. This was the architect Manuel Munoz Monasterio, co-designer of the recently constructed Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the home of Real Madrid. Its Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium officially opened on September 7, 1958, when Sevilla played in their first friendly match against the fellow Andalusian side Real Jaen. The stadium's inaugural match was played on the opening date of the 1958-1959 season in which Sevilla defeated the city-crossing club Real Betis 4-2.

7. Facilities

Please see below.

7.1. Stadium

The first fifty years Sevilla played home matches at various locations within Seville: la Trinidad Field The Mercantile Field, 'La Victoria Stadium, as well as the Estadio de Nervion.

The Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium was first designed in 1937 when the site was acquired near to the former home of Sevilla in Nervion The construction started in 1954. There was a competition to design the stadium, and it was it was won by Manuel Munoz Monasterio, an architect who also designed the stadium for Real Madrid, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

The stadium's construction began in 1958. The stadium it was opened on September 7 in the same year, with an informal fixture with Real Jaen. The west and east grandstands that surround the stadium were constructed at the end of 1974 during the administration of Eugenio Montes Cabezas, and made the capacity of the stadium increase to 70,000. The visor and the mosaic on the main façade (by Santiago del Campo) as well as the new lighting were added to the stadium for the 1982 FIFA World Cup, in which it hosted an inter-team game between Soviet Union and Brazil, and semi-finals with France as well as West Germany. In 1986, the European Cup Final was held in the stadium and the winner was Steaua Bucuresti after a 2-1 win over Barcelona. Additionally, the capacities of the venue were decreased to around 60,000. The most recent change occurred in the middle of the 1990s, and under FIFA regulations that all areas of standing were converted into seating areas which reduced the capacity to 42,714.

It is believed that the Spain national team has played 26 games in the stadium since 1961, and are unbeaten having won 21 times and five draws. In celebration of the club's centenary celebration in 2005 an allegorical mosaic created by Ben Yessef was built above the southern gate. It was designed by Ben Yessef and depicts the past that the city has had in Seville. Over it, the club's emblem was floating in the breeze. The stadium now houses the club's headquarters for media and also the official club store as well as the museum of the club as well as a trophy case.
