Betis: the history of the club

Betis has never been among the giants of Spanish football, but its history is alternating ups and downs.

In 1935, the team won the Spanish championship for the first time, but was relegated to the lower division a few years later.
In the 1970s and 80s, the club played brilliantly, won trophies, but constantly balanced between La Liga and Segunda. It was then that the cult of Betis was born - the club that always returns.
In 2005, the team won the Cup of Spain and qualified for the Champions League for the first time in history.
In 2022 Betis repeated their triumph by winning the Copa de España again, proving that even in modern football you can win with heart, not money.
