Sevilla Linces (Seville Lynxes in English) is an American football team based in Seville, Andalusia (Spain).
History
The team was founded by three fans (Antonio Cornejo Dueñas, Santiago Vega García and Basilio Parrado Parade) brought together by an advertisement published in a football magazine called 100 yards, asking for people to play football for fun. After playing at local parks, the decision was made to compete officially.
After a friendly game against Cádiz Corsarios played on 14 May 1993 - the first ever football game in Andalusia - the team joined the Spanish second division.
In 1999 the team were finally promoted to the elite league in Spain, the LNFA, where they have been competing since.
