Introduction / Introduccion

The Asociación Sevillista Puerta de América (ASPA) was formed in 2007 by Rafa Acal Jimenez, a devoted Sevillista who wanted to show support for his club while living thousands of miles away.

The idea of the Association was strengthened with Sevilla’s trip to the United States in the Summer of 2007. Many Sevilla fans flocked to Chicago to see the games, and talk of the association was brought up amongst the fans. After Chicago, the idea was even stronger and in the Fall of 2007, the ASPA was founded.
