History

---

Foundation

The team was founded on 28 October, 1900 by Angel Rodriguez, an engineering student at Universitat de Barcelona. Its original home was in the district of Sarrià, the same as their local rivals, FC Barcelona. The club was initially known as the Sociedad Española de Football. It was the first in Spain to be formed by Spanish fans of the game as opposed to foreigners who formed other clubs such as FC Barcelona.

The club originally played in bright yellow shirts, the colour of the shorts been left to the individual player. A friend of the club founder owned a textile business and happened to have an abundance of yellow material left over from a job. By 1901, however they were playing in white shirts and blue shorts and were known as Club Español de Futbol. The club did well from the start, winning the Campionat de Catalunya in 1903 and subsequently playing in the Copa del Rey.
