TO THE SECOND DIVISION! #SevillaFC #VamosSAT https://t.co/VmMQcdxXv1
— Sevilla FC (@SevillaFC_ENG) June 26, 2016 - The team clinched promotion at the 6,000-capacity Viejo Nervion, which is the main arena at the Jose Ramon Cisneros Palacios Training Ground.
- Goalkeeper, Jose Antonio Caro, better known as Churripi, became the hero of the playoff campaign when he converted the winning spot-kick against Lleida Esportiu.
- Sevilla Atletico will be the only youth team to grace the second tier in the 2016/2017 season.
- This will be the fourth time that the club has played at this level, after having competed in Segunda Division in 1962, 2007 and 2008.

— Sevilla FC (@SevillaFC_ENG) June 26, 2016 - Jesus Navas, Antonio Puerta, Jose Antonio Reyes and Diego Capel all began their careers at the club and later went on to be capped by Spain.
- Manolo Jimenez coached the side between 2000 and 2007, and prior to this latest promotion, he was the last coach to have led the club to the second tier. However, on that occasion, Jimenez subsequently left his post to take charge of first-team affairs after Juande Ramos was appointed head coach at Tottenham Hotspur.
- At the time Jimenez was promoted to the first team in the 2007/08 season, Sevilla Atletico were sitting in fourth spot in Segunda and they went on to record a credible 9th-place finish.
