With a Scottish flavour.. Seville celebrates the 134th anniversary of its founding

On Thursday, the Spanish club Sevilla celebrated the 134th anniversary of its founding, before its first football team faced Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals of the King’s Cup.
The club explained in a statement on Thursday that the club saw the light on January 25, 1890, when a group of half Spaniards and the other half from the United Kingdom agreed to establish the club, during their meeting in an old café in the Andalusian city of Seville, to celebrate a traditional Scottish festival.
He added: “The group agreed that night to name the club Seville, and to build it in accordance with the rules adopted in the United Kingdom regarding the establishment of clubs and how to ensure their success.”
The club’s first president was Scot Edward Farquharson Johnston, the British Deputy Consul in Seville, and it was decided that the club would play according to the rules of the local Football Association, excluding the practice of rugby football.
The next day, the club’s founders organized the first team matches at the Tablada horse racing track, and on February 25, 1890, Isaias White, the club’s secretary, sent an invitation to the Huelva Club, the oldest in Spain (1889), to the first football match played in Spain between two teams under The rules of the game association, and it was conducted at the Tablada track in Seville on March 8, 1890, and ended with Seville winning by two clean goals.
Since its founding, Sevilla has won 19 titles: the Spanish League in the 1945-1946 season, the Cup 4 times, the Super 1, the European League 5, the European Super 2, the European Cup Winners’ Cup 2, and the Second Division 4.
