The Latest Breaking News from Real Betis

Borja Iglesias, 30, who plays for Real Betis and has made two appearances for the Spanish national team, declared on social media that he would no longer put himself forwards for selection

My husband and I are fairweather football fans. He, a Spaniard from Seville, supposedly supports Real Betis but when I ask him why, he shrugs and says “erm, because my friends do.” I don’t think he knows how they’ve performed in La Liga this season or even who their star…

Nicknamed “the frying pan of Spain” for its weather and one of Spanish football’s most heated rivalries, Seville’s sizzling reputation is no exaggeration. Temperatures can swell close to the 40C mark from May onwards, and the city remains warm throughout the year, barely dipping below 10C, even in winter. 

As the pre-season continues to heat up, fans are in for a treat as Real Sociedad takes on Manuel Pellegrini's impressive Real Betis side.
