Real Sporting de Gijón
Founded in 1905, the club had to adopt the name of Real Gijón in 1941, omitting the word "Sporting" for over 30 years, due a law forbidding the use of foreign words in club names.
Sporting Gijón supporters, nicknamed "La Mareona", are very well known in Spain as they have one of the most loyal and cheerful fan groups.
