# 2006–07 Sevilla FC season

The 2006–07 season was Sevilla Fútbol Club's sixth consecutive season in La Liga. The team manager in the previous season, Juande Ramos, continued with the team. That season, the team won its second consecutive UEFA Cup in a very special final match against another Spanish team (Espanyol) and was the leader of La Liga for first time since the 1945–46 season, when the team won its only league championship. Sevilla also won its fourth Copa del Rey against Getafe.

## Kits

The club released a total of 7 kits, on which 3 were used for the domestic competitions, a 4th kit used for the UEFA Cup and 3 kits for specific matches.
