Real Oviedo is a Spanish football club from Oviedo , Asturias , which played in the first division for a long time , but currently in the Segunda División .

The club was founded in 1926 as FC Oviedo and has played at the Nuevo Carlos Tartiere stadium since 2000 . Real Oviedo traditionally plays in blue and white.

Foundation and early years

The club was created on March 26, 1926 through the merger of the two clubs Stadium Overtense Oviedo and CD Overtense Oviedo . At that time it was called FC Oviedo , but was allowed to use the surname Real from 1927 . The coach in the first year of the club's history was the famous English football pioneer Fred "El Bombin" Pentland .

With the reform of the Spanish league system, FC played in the second division from 1928. In the 1931/32 season they came close to promotion for the first time, but missed it by two points. A year later things went better and Real rose as champions. The club was known at this time for its very offensive style of play. This is also shown by the goal difference of the first season of the first division: In 18 games it was 51:45. So Real had scored the most goals, but also conceded almost the most. That didn't change in the following season, but Real came third this time. In 1935/36 they wanted to fight for the championship for the first time, but missed it by three points and came third again. In 1936 the club faced a bright future. But that changed suddenly just two months after the last game of the season when the Spanish Civil War began.

After the civil war

With the end of the civil war in 1939, the association was left with nothing. The stadium had been almost completely destroyed and several members of the glorious team of the 1930s had died. However, the association had some understanding. The Carbayones were allowed to suspend the game for a year without relegating. During this time the stadium was rebuilt and new players could be recruited. In the first two seasons Oviedo first had to re-establish itself, from 1942 to 1949 there was another successful period in which one u. a. twice fifth and twice fourth. In 1950 there was a complete crash. This came completely unexpected as Real had finished fifth the previous season. As the bottom of the table, you still had the chance to stay in the league, because even this place qualified for relegation this year. However, this was lost 0-2 against Real Murcia . 1952 to 1954 Real played again in the premier league before relegation again made for the end of this short high. In the 1960s, Oviedo was back in the first division for a little longer. This first division stay also ended completely unexpectedly. In 1963 they were third, the following year they fell to 14th place and a year later they even went down. After brief interludes, from 1976 onwards a twelve-year abstinence from the first division followed.

Development since 1988

In 1988 the long-awaited resurgence finally followed. There was a spirit of optimism and in the first two seasons they passed with eleventh and twelfth places. In the 1990/91 season, the club qualified sixth for the first time for the UEFA Cup . There they were eliminated in the first round against CFC Genoa . The following years were characterized by gray mediocrity, because a success like 1991 was not to be achieved again. From 1996 there was only fighting against relegation. In 2000, the new stadium was opened, named after Carlos Tartiere, who was club president from 1926 to 1950 and is considered one of the club's founding fathers. However, the stadium was only to see top division football for a year. A win on the last day of the 2000/01 season would have been enough to keep them from relegation, but a 2: 4 in Mallorca sealed relegation. Although this came as expected, unlike some others, it hit the club the hardest of all. In the second division, the downward trend initially seemed to have stopped. But after the jump of many players and sponsors in the 2002/03 season, not only the sporting descent to the third division followed, but due to unpaid player salaries even the forced relegation to the fourth-class Tercera División . In 2009 Real Oviedo won the relegation games for promotion to Segunda División B against RCD Mallorca B on penalties and has thus been back in the third highest Spanish league since the 2009/10 season.

In November 2012 it was announced that the Mexican Carlos Slim , according to Forbes the richest person in the world, had secured 35 percent of the shares in the club for around two million euros.

For the 2014/15 season they were promoted back to the Segunda Division, in which the club has been playing since the 2015/16 season .
