History

Foundation

R.C Celta de Vigo was formed as a result of the aspiration of Vigo's teams to achieve more at the national level, where the Basque sides were their "bete noire" in the Campeonato de España (Spanish Championship). The idea was to merge both teams to create a more powerful team at national level. The standard-bearer of this movement was Manuel De Castro "Handicap" the sports writer for Faro de Vigo who from 1915 started to write in his articles of the need for a unitarian movement. The slogan of his movement was "Todo por y para Vigo" which eventually found support amongst the directors of Real Vigo Sporting and Real Club Fortuna de Vigo. It was backed unanimously when Manuel De Castro himself presented the motion at the assembly of the National Federation in Madrid on the 22 June, 1923.

In the last AGM of Fortuna and Vigo to approve the formation of a new club held on the 10 August, 1923 the members set about on deciding the team's name. There were various names suggested:

  • Real Unión de Vigo
  • Club Galicia
  • Real Atlántic
  • Breogán
  • Real Club Olimpico

The last name was popular but they eventually decided on Real Club Celta a race linked to Galicia (see Celts). The first president of Celta was Manuel Bárcena de Andrés, the Count of Torrecedeira. At this AGM the squad was also decided which numbered 64 players in total which included some notable players from both Fortuna and Vigo: Galicia (Spain) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia /**/ @import /skins-1. ...
