Keep, an important "friendly" tournament apparently fondly and widely remembered in Spain, for the general atmosphere and for the intense rivalry between the two Sevillean teams (Sevilla and Betis) which seems to be more fierce perhaps than that between Real and Atletico. If one sees that a tournament last held in 1995 is either the focus of or mentioned in more than 20 Spanish sources since 2009[1], including a few this year alone, then this is not some obscure trophy (note: some of these are about a skating trophy, but most are about the football one). This from last month is an article solely about the trophy, this is more like a column, but again completely about the trophy; this is a complete 2019 article from elDiario.es, about why the Trofeo disappeared. Contemporary articles must be more common, but are harder to find. Still, something like this complete article from El País shows that this garnered widespread attention during its heyday.
