From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sevilla Atlético Club (formerly called Sevilla FC B) is a Spanish football team based in Seville, Andalusia. They will play the 2007/08 season in the Segunda División. They are the reserve team of Sevilla FC. Unlike in England, reserve teams in the Spain play in the same football pyramid as their senior team rather than a separate league. However, reserve teams cannot play in the same division as their senior team. Therefore the team is ineligible for promotion to La Liga, the division in which Sevilla FC currently play. Reserve teams are also no longer permitted to enter the Copa del Rey.
[edit] History
Founded in 1958, Sevilla Atlético quickly became a Tercera División contender, winning that league in 1960-61 and 1961-62, spending one year, 1962-63, in the Segunda División. For three years in the early 1970s, the club was relegated to regional play below the third division, but returned to the Tercera in 1976. Since then, the club has split time between the Tercera, which it won five times in the 1980s, and the Segunda B.
In 2007-08, the club will return to the Segunda, now known as Liga BBVA.
