Throughout history it has received various names depending on the historical context in which the country was located (Cup of the President of the Republic, Copa del Generalissimo or Copa del Rey). Today we will review the teams that were able to win this important title and that, maybe, many people do not remember because they are not the ones who usually take the glory regularly.

ARENAS CLUB DE GETXO

The Arenas Club It is quite a history of Spanish football. The Biscayan club, founded in 1909, He was one of the 10 founding clubs of National League Championship in 1929. He was a member of the First Division during 7 seasons consecutively and no longer managed to return.
