The "Birth" of Real Mallorca
Back in 1916, when the word 'goal' had more to do with goals in castles than with net fun, Real Mallorca was born out of football madness. Dressed in red and black with the Son Moix stadium as if it were the ultimate fashion statement of the season, the club took to the stage and shouted, "We're here to blow your football socks off!"
Adventurous descents and hopeful highs
From the early days to the present cramps, Real Mallorca has seen more waves than an overconfident surfer in a storm. From dramatic descents to auspicious highs, this island flap has what it takes to keep us on the soccer roller coaster.
Héctor Cúper: The guru of "almost wins"
Do you remember Hector Cuper? The man who perfected the "almost win"! Indeed, under his tutelage, Real Mallorca reached the final of the 1999 UEFA Cup. And as the gods of football would have it, they narrowly missed out on victory. But hey, it's not just about winning, it's about the epic stories written along the way!
Samuel Eto'o: From island sprinter to world-class striker Samuel Eto'o - the man who literally sprinted from Mallorca's beach onto the international stage.
