Real Zaragoza is a Spanish football team from Zaragoza in Aragón. Founded on March 18, 1932, it currently plays in the Primera División. They play in white with blue shorts. The home stadium is the La Romareda that seats 34,596 spectators.
History
Originally formed out of two rival teams, Iberia SC and Real Zaragoza CD. By the 1930s, the team was making headway in the leagues, but the Civil War put a brake on a lot of the progress made. On September 8, 1957 the team left their original stadium (the Torrero) for the La Romareda. It was not until the 1960s that Zaragoza would see their first successes, in the Copa del Rey and in the Fairs Cup. The Real Zaragoza side of this era contained los Magnificos (the Greats in English), an attacking line of Canario, Santos, Marcelino, Villa and Lapetra. Other notable players included Reija and Violeta in defence. Fans of the side had to wait until the 1980s to experience another victory in the cup competition.
Real Zaragoza have played the majority of their history, a total of 45 seasons, in the Primera División. Being more of a specialist cup side, they have not managed to win the league, although they have come second on one occasion. In the 2001-02 season they were relegated from the Primera for the first time in 25 years; however, they earned promotion back to the Primera the following season.
In late May 2006, Agapito Iglesias bought Alfonso Soláns' shares and took the control of Real Zaragoza. Agapito promised to build one of the strongest team in Spain and Europe. His first year Real Zaragoza bought Aimar (11 million euros) as mediatic player. In a poll in 2007, Zaragoza fans voted Aimar the teams greatest ever player.
