History
• The first Spain national
football team was constituted
in 1920, with the main
objective of finding a team
that would represent Spain at
the Summer Olympics held in
Belgium in that same year.
Spain made their debut at
the tournament on 28 August
1920 against Denmark, silver
medalists at the last two
Olympic tournaments. The
Spanish managed to win that
match by a scoreline of 1–0,
eventually finishing with the
silver medal.

defeating Germany and Italy in the respective finals,
making them the only national team with three major
titles in a row.

FC Barcelona was formed in 1899 by businessman Joan
Gamper, who advertised for players in a local Barcelona sports
magazine. The club’s first trophy was the Copa Macaya
(Catalan championship) in 1902, and in 1910 “Barça” won the
Copa del Rey (“King’s Cup”)—Spain’s leading national football
cup competition—for the first time. In total, Barcelona has won
30 Copas del Rey, more than any other team.
