Team Profile
Real Sociedad was officially established on September 7, 1909. Saint-Adolfo Saes, a professor at the University of Ognad, established the social football team under the notarization of the notary of San Sebastian. Saint-Adolphe Saes was the person in charge of the new team, and it was launched on February 11, 1910. On June 27, 1931, King Alfonso VIII granted the team a royal title and was officially called Real Sociedad. However, on June 27, 1931, the team was renamed Donostia Football Club. This name was used for 5 years before being changed back to its original name Real Sociedad. As for the pioneers of Real Sociedad, they have to pursue the case until 1903. At that time, a football team called Denis was established and competed in the Spanish arena. On April 11, 1909, it finally defeated the Espanyol of Madrid and won the championship. In the same year, it was renamed Sociedad. The match was initially played at the Ondarreta Stadium, and then moved to the Atotsia Stadium, where a farewell match was played against Bilbao to commemorate the departure of Real Sociedad captain José Berardo. More than eighty years later, on June 22, 1993, a farewell match was played at the Atotesia Stadium in the same stadium. The game is now played at the Arnold Estadio, which was opened on August 13, 1993, and features a match against Real Madrid on that day. There were a total of 10 teams in the 1928/29 season. Real Sociedad ranked fourth. From 1934 to 1949, Real Sociedad kept wandering between Serie A and Serie B. The results were good and bad, and the team name was changed twice during this period. In 1967, under the guidance of head coach Anthony, the team finally confirmed its position as an A team. This was also the best performance in the history of the team since its establishment. In the 1974/75 season, Real Sociedad entered the UEFA Cup for the first time. In the 1979/80 season, Real Sociedad remained at the top of the league after the 32nd round. It did not lose a game until the last round, and finally ranked second. The first was Real Madrid. In 1980/81, Real Sociedad won the league for the first time in its history, and won in a desperate battle with Real Madrid in the last game. In 1981/82, they met Bilbao in the last game of the league and defeated their opponents to win the championship. This was also the most important moment in the history of the Atotesia Stadium. In 1982/83, they defeated Real Madrid with an absolute advantage of 4-0 at the Atotea Stadium and won the Super Cup championship. Wales coach Toshack does not want to be as scared in the league as last season. He wants to be proud from the first day of the league. Toshack has a deep connection with Real Sociedad. He has led the team to the UEFA Cup many times and has also trained many rookies, so he has a deep affection for this team. Toshack’s long-term plan can be seen from the team list for the new season. Alonso, Llorente, Guruchaga, Alanburu and other youth team members have joined the team together with Baquero, Gabilondo and Alejandro. They are the future of the team, and the only one who is not familiar with them is Norwegian central defender Kwame. In the warm-up match, Real Sociedad had 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses. This is normal during the warm-up period. Once the league begins, Toshack will field his basic lineup from last season. New president Astya Saran took over at the most difficult moment of last season, when the team was on the verge of relegation. His leadership team also developed a unique management approach. His request to sports manager and coach Toshack is that relegation is only a prerequisite, and the team should have higher goals.
