The second half of the 20th century
Sevilla opened up its new Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium in 1958 with a draw vs Real Jaen (3-3).
In the 60s, Sevilla started a decline to mid-table and after the 1967-68 season, Sevilla was sent down to the Spanish second division but returned to the top flight a year later. After another a brief drop and return in the early seventies, Sevilla remained firmly in the middle of the table until the 1996-97, when the club was sent down again. Another return to La Liga was followed immediately by a last place finish in 1999-2000, in which Sevilla managed to scrape together only 28 points on the season.

A new resurgence (2000–present)
Under new coach Joaquín Caparrós, Sevilla won the second division title in 2000-01. New team president José María del Nido brought fiscal order to Sevilla, selling its homegrown superstar José Antonio Reyes to Arsenal in January 2004 for a €25 million (£10.5 million) fee. In that season (2003-04), not only did Sevilla reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey after more than 20 years (where it fell 2-1 to Real Madrid), but the team managed to qualify for Europe by placing sixth in the league and earning a ticket for the 2004-05 UEFA Cup.

History - The early years (1905–1948)
On 15 October 1905, the Civil Governor of Seville officially announced the creation of Sevilla FC. The first president of the club was D. José Luis Gallegos. In 1908, the team played its first official game, and the first official game in Spain against Recreativo Huelva. In 1914, the team won its first Copa de Sevilla (Seville Cup). In 1935, Sevilla won the first of its Copa del Rey trophies, beating CE Sabadell FC 3-0. After the Spanish Civil War, Sevilla won the first Copa del Generalísimo (the second Spanish Cup win of the club), beating Racing de Ferrol by a score of 6-2.
The 1939-40 season also brought Sevilla very close to its first La Liga championship. The league had just returned to action after the Spanish Civil War, and Sevilla had some astounding games, beating Barcelona 11-1, Vakencia 10-3 and Hercules 8-3. However, in the last game of the season, Sevilla could only manage to tie Hércules 3-3, thus giving the title to Atlético Aviación. In 1942-43, Sevilla took second place in the league again but fell to third the next year. After a transitional year in 1945-46, Sevilla won its first and only La Liga title, due mainly to the mercurial talent (striker) Oliver Ward, who managed to notch up an impressive 29 goal tally. In 1948, Sevilla captured its last Copa del Rey for the next 59 years, defeating Celta Vigo 4-1 at the Estadio Chamartín. Sevilla are the only club to have beaten Real Madrid more times than any other team in La Liga, a record of 72 times.
