Where to watch soccer in Sevilla

Keeping up with what is going on the the Spanish Premier league is a great way to find common ground when talking with Spaniards. Having a basic knowledge of soccer in Sevilla and in Spain in general is extremely beneficial when trying to make friends. Many times you may find yourself trying to think of different points of conversation. Talking about "futbol" is definitely a popular topic among most Spaniards.

The first place I would recommend watching a soccer game is live at stadium of one of the two professional teams in Sevilla. The two teams in Sevilla are Real Betis and Sevilla FC. I have had luck getting tickets to a Sevilla FC game by simply going to the ticket office at the stadium a few days before the game. If the game is a highly anticipated game, the tickets will likely be more expensive and I would recommend getting to the ticket office farther in advance. You can usually find tickets for around 30 euro. My experience was incredible and I would highly recommend attending a game possible because it is unlike any sporting event in the United States.

If you can't make it to the game, there are still plenty of places to watch on TV. If you don't have access to a TV in your home stay then you may find yourself looking for a sports bar to watch the game. I have created a Google Map (click here) with my favorite places to watch along with a little commentary as to what to expect at each location.
