Last March 2015, the president of the Royal Spanish Football Association,
Ángel María Villar, visited the exhibition 1890. The Origins of Sevilla
FC. As shown by the picture
below, the president of the RFEF was presented with a framed copy of the
article published by The Dundee Courier and Argus in 1890, which describes the
founding of the Sevilla Football Club and their victory in the first football
match played in Spain. This visit was later picked up by the official magazine
of the highest body of football in Spain
The president of the RFEF, Ángel Villar, and Sevilla FC’s president, José Castro, visited the area in the
Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium that recreates the history of the Seville club. They
both contemplated the showcases that collect some of the moments of the long
history of the club, like some of the kits worn in the first years of the club’s
history, which is now more than 100 years old.
