During the League season, hundreds of thousands of people head to the stadiums on the weekend to cheer for their teams and to enjoy games that are considered among the world's best for its high level competition and quality players.

Football Teams in Spain
With teams beginning to form as early as 1890 in Seville, there is a rich history following football in Spain to say the least! In 1927, a national football league was proposed and the first ten teams were admitted. These first league teams were: Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao, Athletic Madrid, Real Sociedad, Racing Santander, RCD Español, Arenas Club de Getxo, CE Europa and Real Unión. Since this creation the number of teams has doubled and there have been many great accomplishments for the league, including winning the Spanish National team taking the gold medal at the 1992 Olympics and then the silver medal in 2000. No doubt, Spanish football has become well-recognized internationally.
