About the club Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad is a team that doesn't try to be like everyone else. Founded in 1909 in San Sebastian, this club has always been unique. He experienced championship triumphs, years in the second division, a return to the elite and again a struggle for the top.

This is a team that bets on its own, develops youth, does not chase high-profile transfers, but always remains competitive. In La Liga, it is not just a participant - it is a team that is respected.

History of Real Sociedad

Football in San Sebastian appeared at the beginning of the XX century, and already in 1909 the city got its own club - Real Sociedad. Its name means \"Royal Society\" because the team immediately received the patronage of King Alfonso XIII.

In the first decades the club did not claim big victories, but was a stable participant in La Liga. And then came a historical moment – 1980s. It was the heyday of Basque football: Atlético and Real Sociedad fought for the championship.

\n
\"And it was Sociedad that became the champion of Spain twice in a row (1980/81, 1981/82), breaking the hegemony of the Madrid giants.\"
\n

Those were the times when the team relied only on their pets and showed all of Spain that it is possible to win without star players.

After that harder times came. The club gradually lost positions, and in 2007 it was even relegated to Segunda. However, he returned after three years and doesn't look back.

New Golden Page – Cup of Spain 2020. It was a historic final – a Basque derby against Atlético, postponed due to the pandemic. Real Sociedad won and showed that they are ready to fight for trophies again.

Real Sociedad Stadium

The club's home arena is \"Reale Arena\" (better known as \"Anoeta\"), which holds more than 39 thousand spectators. Opened in 1993, it became a real home for the club.

Once she was criticized - the stands were far from the field, the atmosphere was not felt. But after reconstruction in 2019 everything changed. The stadium has become modern, comfortable and creates real pressure on opponents.
