that the rhythm does not stop

Betis begins this new year participate in three competitions and with great aspirations in each of them. Their good work in these tournaments will be essential to make the first part of the 26-27 season also very stimulating for Betis, before the end of this brand new year 2026.

The dream of the Europa League

In May, Betis played the first European final in its history. The green and white team met in Wrocław (Poland) with the Chelsea during the last Conference League game. The English team, shortly after becoming Club World champions, beat Pellegrini’s team (1-4), but after coming close to European glory, Betis sees itself capable of doing more.

Betis players do not hide that one of their biggest hopes is to be able to succeed (and win) now the Europa League final which will be played on Wednesday May 20, 2026 at Besiktas Park in Istanbul. One more step that the team wants to climb with the help of the historic Pellegrini and for which it has already started to take its first steps, going beyond the championship phase two days before its conclusion.

After its history five consecutive qualifications for European competitions With the help of Pellegrini, Beticismo wants to continue to see how his club stabilizes in continental football.

Play the Champions League

And why not? take one more step. In Europe and La Liga. In recent seasons, Betis have been circling the La Liga positions that give them the right to play in the Champions League. As part of the progressive sporting growth that the club has developed, qualification for the best interclub competition at continental level is still pending. Betis faced this season, the 25-26 with the league objective of reaching the first four places, but the great rate of goals of the main rivals and some setbacks keep Pellegrini’s team for the moment seven points behind Villarreal, currently fourth. Furthermore, it does not seem likely that on this occasion – unlike what happened last year – fifth place gives the right to play the championship phase of the next Champions League.

Despite Betis’ disadvantage today, the managers, coaches and players know that there is still a lot to say and They will fight in the second round of the championship to secure the second qualification for the Champions League. in the history of the club.

The Cup of Illusion

There’s nothing like lifting a trophy. Betis has four in its windows and the last one was conquered at La Cartuja, its current stadium, in 2022. Was the King’s Cupa competition which brought joy to Betic supporters. The 25-26 edition of the season will once again see its final played at the Sevillian stadium and the club has many hopes to get a new trophy in a place that should now feel like home. While several First Division teams have already been abandoned, Pellegrini’s side are progressing steadily and waiting to find out who their next rival will be as the competition gets tougher with every step they take.

The works of Benito Villamarín

Betis will continue to compete in 2026 at La Cartuja after moving to this stadium due to the works, after which it will be able returning home, Benito Villamarín. The club has worked on the construction of a modern stadium which also constitutes an important economic engine for the institution. However, the work is not progressing at the pace that the Betic leaders would have liked and It is expected that at least until 2028 they will not be able to return to the Heliópolis neighborhood.. Logically, there will therefore be no change of scenery this year, even if the Betics have the illusion of being able to see how the stadium, their stadium, is starting to take shape and the work is accelerating.
