The club was founded back in 1906, in the city of La Coruña in the Spanish autonomous community of Galicia.

Sporting de Gijón

Spanish team Sporting de Gijón was founded in 1905. One interesting fact is that their stadium, Estadio El Molinón, is the oldest ever in Spain where professional football is played.
