💡 Real Betis: Experts Reveal What’s Happening!
Key Overview
Real Betis Balompié, known as Real Betis (pronounced [reˈal ˈβetis]) is a Spanish professional football club based in Seville, Andalusia, Spain. Founded in 1907, it plays in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football. It plays home games at the 60,721-seat Estadio Benito Villamarín. Real Betis won the league title in 1935 and the Copa del Rey in 1977, 2005 and 2022. Given the club's tumultuous history and many relegations, its motto is ¡Viva el Betis manque pierda! (Long live Betis even if they lose!).
History
The name "Betis" is derived from Baetis, the Roman name for the Guadalquivir river which passes through Seville and which the Roman province there was named after. Real ('Royal') was added in 1914 after the club received patronage from King Alfonso XIII.
Seville derby
Betis have a long-standing rivalry with city neighbours Sevilla FC. The two have met 114 times in official competition, with Sevilla holding a 45% win ratio over Betis (31%). The first match between the two clubs took place on 8 February 1915, with Sevilla winning 4–3.

Controversy
On the 4th July 2024 a 2 year sponsorship deal with the U.K. based train ticketing company Trainline was announced. This was considered controversial by some due to their links, via the chairman of their board, with the Confederation of British Industry (CBI). There have been multiple accusations of rape and sexual misconduct against members of the CBI.
