FC Sevilla
After a great start to the season, Bolton Wanderers decided to take
advantage of the international break and traveled with The HI Group to MPF Marbella for 4 days of training, followed
by a friendly match against FC Sevilla.
The team arrived at Malaga airport on the 31 st August, and headed straight to
the Hotel Westin La Quinta for
lunch. Following which, after a short rest, they had their first training session
at the MPF Marbella centre.
Later in the week, after a mornings training, the group enjoyed a team building
afternoon at the Marbella Gun & Country Club, which was sponsored by Purple
Estates and Currencies Direct - The group had a great afternoon and enjoyed the
activities including Archery and Clay Pigeon Shooting.
On the morning of Saturday the 4 th of September the team headed north to the “oven
of Spain ,” Seville , for a friendly match later that evening versus FC
Sevilla.
The match, organized by The HI Group, drew a great
crowd with approx 15,000 spectators there to cheer the local team along, and
was also shown live on Spanish TV.
There was a lot of interest in the Bolton Players as they included Fernando Hierro
(Ex national team captain and Real Madrid) and Ivan Campo (Spanish national team,
Real Madrid & Mallorca).
Although the final result didn’t go Bolton’s way, with FC Sevilla
winning 2-0, Bolton ’s Manager, Sam Allardyce, was more than happy with
the match as it had given him the opportunity to play some of his players returning
from injury along with some of his new signings.
It was a real pleasure to welcome Bolton Wanderers to Spain and we wish them
continued success in the Premiership and look forward to welcoming them back
to Spain at some time in the future.
