When Real Betis re-signed Antony on deadline day of the summer transfer window, there was pandemonium in certain parts of Seville. A crowd of supporters gathered outside the club’s training ground to welcome the player back, and they went wild with delight when he appeared through the window to wave. There were even a few fans waiting on the player’s street at 2am in the morning to welcome him back to the city.

That was over two weeks ago, and now the fanbase will finally get the chance to watch Antony play a home game again this weekend. Real Betis vs Real Sociedad on Friday night is the winger’s first home match following his permanent move from Manchester United, and there is a buzz in the air. He already made his re-debut in Los Verdiblancos’ 2-2 draw away at Levante UD last weekend, but now he’ll be the centre of attention at the Estadio de la Cartuja.
A new home ground for Antony
When Antony was on loan at the LALIGA EA SPORTS club during the second half of last season, Real Betis were playing at their usual Estadio Benito Villamarín. Now, however, they’ve temporarily moved to the Estadio de la Cartuja, as redevelopment work is carried out on their home.
Béticos are famously loyal and they’ve continued to pack the stadium for home games, averaging the third-highest attendances of any club in LALIGA EA SPORTS so far this campaign. They’re expected to fill the Estadio de la Cartuja once again this Friday to welcome Antony back to the club, following his signing of a contract to 2030.
Appreciation that goes both ways
It’s not just the fans who love Antony, as the player is also very grateful for the support that has been shown to him. After arriving on loan in January, Antony immediately fell in love with the club and the city and he was very keen to return to Los Verdiblancos this summer. When he was presented by the club following his transfer, he couldn’t hold back the tears when discussing his pride at returning to Real Betis.
As Antony described: “I was worried that this incredible moment might not happen in the end, but I had a lot of faith. I only have words of gratitude for everyone who made it possible. I’m so keen to put the Real Betis shirt back on.”
Now, on Friday night at 21:00 CEST, he’ll wear the home shirt, the famous green and white stripes, once again. It promises to be a party atmosphere in Seville.
