REAL SOCIEDAD (1909)

Real Sociedad is one of the clubs with the most clearly defined identity in Spanish football, deeply rooted in Donostia-San Sebastián and in the social and cultural fabric of the Basque Country. Known as “La Real” and represented by the txuri-urdin colours —the white and blue that have defined the club since its early years—, it combines a benchmark youth academy, a technical and associative style of play, and a bond with its supporters that does not depend on results. Its model is built on coherence: developing homegrown players, building the project from within, and competing with personality against clubs with larger budgets. The highest point in its history came with its back-to-back league titles in 1981 and 1982, an achievement that placed the club among the greats of Spanish football. Winning the 2025-26 Copa del Rey represents the most recent milestone for a club that continues to compete on the most demanding stages of national football. From next season, Real Sociedad will wear its txuri-urdin colours with Joma kit, adding to its sporting project a Spanish brand that shares its commitment to talent and to a demanding style of play. At home, the club plays at Anoeta Stadium (Reale Arena), a modern stadium in the heart of Donostia that embodies the character and loyalty of one of the most consistent fan bases in Spanish football.

• 2 First Division league titles (1980-81 and 1981-82), a historic double that made Real Sociedad a benchmark in Spanish football during that era and remains the highest point in its competitive history.

• 3 Copas del Rey (1987, 2019-20 and 2025-26), titles that demonstrate the club’s ability to prevail in the most demanding knockout competitions in Spanish football and establish Real Sociedad as one of the most successful teams in the competition in recent decades.

• Regular participation in European competitions —including the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League— reflecting the strength of a project built on stability, its own youth academy, and a recognisable style of play in any setting.
