Sevilla FC have signed a collaboration agreement with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation’s Future Falcons project, marking another significant step forward in the club's commitment to internationalization, through new agreements with sports entities beyond its borders.

“Sevilla FC signs this agreement with Future Falcons because, as part of our strategic plan, one of our most important pillars is the internationalization of the Sevilla FC brand, making ourselves known to the world. Saudi Arabia is an emerging and increasingly influential market in the world of football, and for us, this is a very important strategic alliance,” explained Sevilla FC President José María del Nido Carrasco after signing the agreement.

“Future Falcons carefully selects European clubs with whom to collaborate and work. Sevilla FC is undoubtedly one of them. It’s not only a giant in Spanish football but also a global football powerhouse. We’re thrilled to be here today and to have received such a warm welcome from the club and its president. This exchange provides tremendous mutual benefit and the opportunity to collaborate in the best possible way. Future Falcons will gain significant advantages through this partnership with Sevilla FC,” highlighted Future Falcons Technical Director Romeo Jozak.

Future Falcons is an academy project managed by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation that trains the most promising young Saudi footballers at a high-performance center in Salou. Through this agreement, Sevilla FC will participate in the prestigious youth tournament organized by Future Falcons, alongside some of Europe’s top youth academies, including those of Benfica, Juventus, and Sporting CP.

“This is very positive. We’re convinced that the training process they undertake, both in sports and personal development, is very similar to what we implement in our youth academy, which has been a cornerstone of our club’s history. Participating in their tournament with Sevilla’s youth players will provide a formative experience similtar to what we’ve had in the past four seasons in the Youth League. It’s a tournament that features the best teams from different parts of the world, and this is highly beneficial in the players' formative journey and for Sevilla FC,” added José María del Nido Carrasco.

Jozak also emphasized the benefits of this tournament: “Within the Saudi Arabian national team, the majority of players have trained with Future Falcons and have played and competed in this tournament, where Sevilla will also be present. I think this will be mutually beneficial in the future due to the exchange of cultures, coaching methods, knowledge, and experiences. Everyone knows Sevilla FC is a big club, having won seven Europa League titles and developed numerous players. This collaboration is a blessing for Future Falcons.”

Additionally, Sevilla FC will actively participate in the training of these talents and Saudi coaches through its Innovation Center and some of its training initiatives, such as the Players Academy and Coaches Academy. The club's commitment to technological advancement in sports will also allow it to share knowledge and tools, such as AI Football and Scout Advisor, with other sports entities, focusing on talent development and recruitment.
