Sevilla Linces (Seville Lynxes in English) is an American football team based in Seville, Andalusia (Spain).[1]
History
[edit]The team was founded by three fans (Antonio Cornejo Dueñas, Santiago Vega García and Basilio Parrado Parade) brought together by an advertisement published in a football magazine called 100 yards, asking for people to play football for fun. After playing at local parks, the decision was made to compete officially.[2]
After a friendly game against Cádiz Corsarios played on 14 May 1993 - the first ever football game in Andalusia - the team joined the Spanish second division.
In 1999 the team were finally promoted to the elite league in Spain, the LNFA, where they have been competing since.
