Sevilla FC plays its second pre-season friendly this Sunday against KS Cracovia, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary. The match, at 16:00 hours, will be available on Sevilla FC+.
Sevilla FC faces its first major international test of the pre-season this Sunday. The team, led by Luis García Plaza, visits KS Cracovia in a match that will serve to assess the team's condition after the first days of training. The game takes place at the Józef Piłsudski Stadium, which has a capacity of 15,000 spectators, and coincides with the celebration of the Polish club's 120th anniversary.
García Plaza seeks rhythm and solidity without the discards
The Sevilla coach wants to take advantage of this match to provide competitive rhythm to the squad and continue assimilating new tactical concepts. After the debut against Juventud de Torremolinos, which ended in a narrow victory from the penalty spot, the team raises the bar against a significant opponent. The main concern of the coaching staff is ball fluidity and defensive solidity, especially after the recent departures of Akor Adams (heading to Venezia) and Tanguy Nianzou (now at Lille).
Offensively, all eyes will be on Gerard Fernández 'Peque', who will officially wear the number 10 shirt for the first time. Additionally, the progress of the three new signings: Guridi, Iglesias, and Arouna Sangante is expected to be seen. The coach will also distribute physical loads among the youth players and the new signings to shape the starting eleven ahead of the league start.
A gala setting for the second summer test
The Józef Piłsudski Stadium, home of Cracovia, will be the venue for this international clash. The Polish team is celebrating its 120th anniversary and has made this match the highlight of its week of commemorations. A great atmosphere is expected in the stands, with around 15,000 local fans cheering for their team. For Sevilla, it is an opportunity to measure themselves against a different style of opponent than they will find in LaLiga, allowing García Plaza to assess his players' adaptability.
The match will also serve for Sevilla fans to see the reinforcements in action for the first time in a more demanding context. The Sevilla FC board continues to work in the transfer market, but for now, the squad is focused on getting into the best possible shape before the official competition begins.
Schedule and where to watch Cracovia - Sevilla FC
The match will kick off at 16:00 hours (Spanish peninsular time). Fans can follow it live and exclusively through the official platform Sevilla FC+, which will broadcast all pre-season friendlies.

Beyond the result, García Plaza's main objective is to test the defensive solidity of the team without the discards and improve ball fluidity. The coach hopes the team will take a step forward in their preparation and arrive in the best condition for the league debut. Fans, for their part, are eager to see positive signs from a team that aims to compete for European spots again.
