ANTONIO PUERTA TROPHY TO BE PLAYED IN AUGUST

During his appearance on SFC TV's A Balón Parado the president José Castro revealed that the Antonio Puerta Trophy will take place this summer, adding that "the rough idea that we have is to hold it on 10 August, the date, again, is approximate but we want to do it in the summer and we're working to make it happen with a top European team which people will be very pleased about".

The president also revealed that Sevilla FC will be kitted out by New Balance again next season: "We have one more season with New Balance. As well as that, we have Puerto Rico on the back of the shirt, but our marketing director is working to secure a main sponsor once and for all. Certainly with the success we have had, the cost has gone up and it's not easy".
