The second half of the 20th century

Sevilla opened up its new Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium in 1958 with a draw vs Real Jaen (3–3).

In the 60s, Sevilla started a decline to mid-table and after the 1967–68 season, Sevilla was sent down to the Spanish second division but returned to the top flight a year later.[1][2] After another brief drop and return in the early seventies, Sevilla remained firmly in the middle of the table until the 1996–97 season, when the club was sent down again.[3] Another return to La Liga was followed immediately by a last place finish in 1999–2000, in which Sevilla managed to scrape together only 28 points in the season.
