Sevilla joins leading European rivals AC Milan, PSV Eindhoven, FC Porto, Olympiacos, Borussia Dortmund, RSC Anderlecht, Galatasaray, FC Basel and Brazilian club, Flamengo in the championship.
Sevilla’s Superleague Formula car will be unveiled Thursday next week at the club’s home ground, Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán by coach Manolo Jiménez and club captain Javi Navarro with the entire playing squad on hand. The racing team selected to run the Sevilla entry also will be revealed at next week’s unveiling.
With 10 of the 20 clubs already now secured, Brazilian and UK football fans will be the next to celebrate with an upcoming Superleague Formula announcement – the second Brazilian team and the initial UK club. Additional clubs from France, Mexico, Korea, Portugal and the United Arab Emirates have also agreed to terms with Superleague Formula and these are scheduled to be announced during the coming weeks.
“The Superleague Formula grid is filling fast and we are thrilled to welcome our first Spanish club,” Superleague Formula President and CEO, Alex Andreu said.
“Sevilla has recorded some outstanding results across Europe in recent years and I am sure the club is very keen to continue this European success on the race track as well.
“Being a Spanish-based company, having our first Spanish club join the championship is a great moment for us. Superleague Formula is going through a very exciting phase - the countdown to our first race in August at Donington Park is looming large and we have lots of exciting news about new clubs and a succession of launches coming up very soon.”
