History of \"Real Valladolid\"

The club was formed after the unification of two local teams - Real Union\" and \"Club Deportivo España\" - in 1928. A few years later Valladolid began to play at the national level and in 1948 for the first time entered La Liga.

In the 1950s the team experienced its first real heyday, reaching the final of the Spanish Cup in 1950. In the future, the club played sometimes in the Primera, then in the Segunda, regularly fighting for survival or promotion.

The period of the 80s-90s is considered the best, when Valladolid was stable in the elite, played in European Cups (Cup Winners' Cup 1989/90) and even won the League Cup (1984) - although the tournament did not last long, it is still the club's most important trophy.

\n
\"In 2018, a new chapter began - the team was partly bought by Ronaldo, and since then Valladolid has started to invest more in infrastructure, transfers and youth.\"
\n

After several relegations and returns, the club is now again fighting for a place among the best.
