Sevilla FC players debut in Copa del Rey match against Sporting de Hortaleza

During a Copa del Rey first-round match against Sporting de Hortaleza, Sevilla FC players Fran González and Fábio Cardoso made their official debuts. The match, held at the Estadio Municipal del Val in Alcalá de Henares, marked a historic moment for Sporting de Hortaleza, a club from the Madrid Primera Autonómica division, which is playing its first-ever Copa del Rey night.

Despite the debuts, Marcao remains the only first-team squad member at Sevilla who has yet to play an official match for the club. His lack of playing time follows physical issues since his 2022 signing. Meanwhile, Sporting de Hortaleza player Sadjo Fati, a student balancing university studies with football, highlighted the significance of the matchup for his local club after their successful run through the RFFM Cup and previous qualifying rounds.
