Sevilla FC has officially announced the captains of its main squad for the 2026-27 season, revealing the names that will lead the team on the field and in the locker room. The decision was made following a combination of the opinion of technical director Luis García Plaza and the choices made among the players, ensuring that leadership responsibility is distributed among those who most respect and motivate the group.
The first captain will be the Chilean Gabriel Suazo, who has demonstrated his leadership capacity both in the midfield and in the organization of the game. Next to him, Kike Salas will occupy second place, while Lucien Agoumé and the Brazilian Marcao will lead the third and fourth positions, respectively. Marcao maintains his position as captain from the previous season, which underlines the continuity and confidence that the club places in his experience and leadership within the team.
In addition to the four starters, Sevilla has appointed José Ángel Carmona and Odysseas Vlachodimos as the fifth and sixth captains. These positions, although less visible, are essential to group cohesion, as they ensure that authority and communication are maintained in all areas of the team. The leadership structure reflects the club's philosophy of having multiple leaders who can assume responsibilities in the event of the absence or injury of the starters.
The announcement was made on Sunday, before the team faced its next rival in the league, and was presented as a strategic step to reinforce discipline and unity within the squad. The players who have been chosen expressed their gratitude for the trust placed in them and stressed the importance of working together to achieve the club's objectives. With this organization, Sevilla seeks to consolidate its position in the table and prepare for the challenges of European competition.
With the appointment of captains completed, Sevilla FC prepares for the season with clear and structured leadership. The club will continue to focus on developing its young players and consolidating its style of play, while the new leaders will be expected to guide the team in both matches and training, ensuring that unity and motivation are maintained throughout the campaign.
