Latest news on Real Sociedad (La Real), providing comprehensive coverage of the Basque football club's La Liga campaign, European matches, transfers, and developments at the Reale Arena.
Real Sociedad, known as La Real or Txuri-Urdin (The White and Blues), is one of Spain's most prestigious football clubs, based in San Sebastián in the Basque Country. Currently competing in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, the club has maintained its position as one of Spain's top teams, regularly finishing in European qualification spots.
Under the guidance of manager Imanol Alguacil, who has been at the helm since December 2018, Real Sociedad has established itself as a formidable force in Spanish football. The team's attacking style, combining pace and precision, has earned plaudits across Europe, while their strong youth development system continues to produce talented players who make significant contributions to the first team.
The club maintains strong ties to its Basque identity while embracing international talent. This is reflected in their current squad, which features local stars like captain Mikel Oyarzabal alongside international players such as Takefusa Kubo and Brais Méndez. The Reale Arena, with its capacity of 39,500, regularly showcases some of the most passionate support in Spanish football.
Founded in 1909 as Sociedad de Foot-Ball de San Sebastián, the club has a rich history including two La Liga titles (1980-81, 1981-82) and three Copa del Rey victories (1909, 1987, 2020). Real Sociedad was particularly notable for maintaining a Basque-only player policy until 1989, when they signed Irish striker John Aldridge from Liverpool, marking a new era in the club's history.
