Sevilla FC has begun its pre-season training at the Ciudad Deportiva José Ramón Cisneros Palacios as manager Luis García Plaza works to stabilize a squad facing significant roster turnover. The club’s players reported for duty Monday following mandatory medical examinations conducted over the weekend to clear athletes for full activity ahead of the 2024-25 LaLiga campaign.
When does Sevilla FC play its first match of the season?
Sevilla FC will open its LaLiga season on the weekend of August 15 and 16, hosting Rayo Vallecano at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium. Manager Luis García Plaza has approximately one month of preparation time to integrate new arrivals and finalize his tactical setup before the home opener in Seville, Spain.
Why is Sevilla FC facing squad “overbooking”?
What is the current status of the pre-season preparations?
The training cycle began Monday morning at the José Ramón Cisneros Palacios facilities. The process follows a strict protocol: players first underwent medical screenings over the weekend to ensure fitness levels are sufficient for high-intensity drills.
Luis García Plaza, who is tasked with building on the team’s effort to avoid relegation, is utilizing this month-long window to implement his system. The focus remains on tactical cohesion and physical recovery, though the manager has acknowledged that the squad will undergo “numerous changes” before the August deadline.

The transition period between now and the Rayo Vallecano match is the primary window for these transactions.
