What you need to know about Getafe football club

This team is not a giant of Spanish football, does not have hundreds of millions for transfers, but constantly proves that it can spoil the life of even the biggest clubs.

Founded in 1946, Getafe remained in the shadow of other Madrid teams for a long time, but gradually made a name for itself in La Liga. The club is based in the suburbs of Madrid, and its home arena is the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.

Getafe is strength of character, tough football and fearlessness in front of any opponent.

Getafe: the history of the club

Unlike Real or Barcelona, the history of Getafe is not full of shiny trophies or loud victories. However, this club is a real fighter that has come a long way from the lower divisions to the elite of Spanish football.

For a long time, Getafe performed in the third and second divisions, until in 2004, for the first time in history, it entered La Liga. Many thought it would be a short visit, but the team not only established itself in the elite, but also began to surprise everyone with its game.

The best period in the history of the club is 2007 and 2008, when Getafe reached the final of the Spanish Cup twice in a row and played in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup.

In the 2018/19 season, the team almost got into the Champions League, finishing 5th in La Liga – the best result in the club's history.

Getafe: Coliseum Alfonso Perez stadium

The Coliseum is the real Getafe fortress. It is incredibly difficult for opponents to play here, regardless of their status.

Capacity – more than 17,000 seats.
A small but very loud stadium where the fans always push the team forward.
Named after Alfonso Perez, one of Madrid's best footballers, although he never played for Getafe.

Getafe: achievements

Although the club does not have a large number of trophies, its results speak for themselves:

Finalist of the Spanish Cup – 2007, 2008.
Quarterfinalist of the UEFA Cup – 2008.
5th place in La Liga – 2019.
Regular performances in European cups.

That's an accomplishment for a team that doesn't have an all-star lineup, but it does have character.

History of Rayo Vallecano

The history of the club began in working class Vallecas, where football was not entertainment, but part of everyday life. For a long time, the team played at the level of regional championships, without the support of big sponsors.

For the first time loudly, \"Rayo\" reminded about itself in 1977, when it entered the elite - La Liga. This breakthrough was remembered not only as a sporting achievement, but as a moment when an ordinary club from the suburbs suddenly found itself among the giants. It was then that the uniform with a zipper appeared for the first time — a detail that later became iconic.

The following decades were not easy: the team often changed divisions, struggled with financial difficulties. But in 2000, thanks to the Fair Play rating, the club found itself in the European Cups and reached the UEFA Cup quarterfinals** — more than even the most optimistic fans could have imagined.

\n
\"Already in the 21st century, the situation wavered again - relegation to a lower league, debts, crises. But even in difficult years, Rayo kept its face.\"
\n

In 2021, the team returned to La Liga and immediately reminded of itself — victories over strong rivals, the semi-finals of the Cup, full stands, emotions.

Rayo Vallecano Stadium

The home stadium - \"Campo de Vallecas\" - is small, a bit old-fashioned, no gloss. But this is precisely his power. The arena holds a little more than 14 thousand fans, but when it's full, it seems like there are much more people.

Fans here are part of the game. They are not silent, not passive observers, but active participants. And it is felt from the first minutes of the match. Opponents are always difficult in this stadium. Not because of the size, but because of the atmosphere.

Achievements of \"Rayo Vallecano\"

The club has never won La Liga or the Cup of Spain, but there are events in its history that will forever remain memorable:

Getting to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup in the 2000/01 season is one of the club's highest European results.
The Semi-finals of the Spanish Cup in 2021/22 is one of the brightest seasons of the last decade.
Victory over Real Madrid in 2022 is an event that fans will remember for a long time.
Each return to Primera is the result of perseverance and work, not large investments.
