Celta Vigo History
Real Club Celta de Vigo was born of a merger between Real Vigo Sporting and Real Club Fortuna de Vigo in 1923. The new club took on the name Club Celta. The idea was to create a stronger club for the city to better compete on the national stage.
The newly formed side won their first match 8-2, a friendly vs Portugal’s Boavista.
For most of their history, the club have been a first division side. But unfortunately they’ve no silverware to show for it, having never won La Liga nor the Copa del Rey.
However, they’ve been runners-up in the Copa three times – 1948, 1994 and 2001. And a period in the late 1990s and early 2000s earned the nickname “EuroCelta” for their consistent appearances in European competitions.
Fives seasons in a row, from 1998-2003, they competed in the UEFA Cup (now Europa League), reaching the quarterfinals on three occasions. 2003/04 saw them fall to Arsenal in the last 16 of Champions League.
Fast forwarding to 2017, the club had a fine run in Europa League, narrowly bowing out to Manchester United in the semifinals – their best finish in a major European event. On a more minor stage, they were co-champions of the old UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2000.
In recent seasons, the club was managed by former River Plate and Fort Lauderdale Strikers man Eduardo Coudet. As of 2023, former Liverpool and Real Madrid manager Rafael Benítez is at the helm.
The Estadio Municipal de Balaídos was built in 1928, and hosted three group matches (all involving Italy) at the 1982 FIFA World Cup.
