Real Racing Club de Santander, S.A.D. is a Spanish football club based in Santander, in the autonomous community of Cantabria. Founded in 1913 it plays in Segunda División B – Group 1, holding home games at Estadio El Sardinero, with a capacity for 22,222 spectators.

History

Racing de Santander played its first match on 23 February 1913, losing 1–2 to neighbouring Strong. It was officially founded on 14 June, as Santander Racing Club, appearing in its first tournament during that summer (Luis Redonet Trophy) and being admitted to the Northern Federation on 14 November, eventually merging with Santander Football Club.

In 1929 Racing first reached La Liga, lasting nine consecutive seasons in the category – finishing in second position in its third year – and fluctuating between the first and the second divisions (with four participations in the third) in the following 30 years. In 1950 the Cantabrians returned to the top flight after a ten-year absence, scoring 99 goals in only 30 games.[1][2]

During the period of Francoist Spain, the club was renamed Real Santander in 1941, because of the prohibition of non-Spanish names. The name was restored in 1973 as the team returned to the first division one year after nearly relegating, under young manager José María Maguregui.

Racing de Santander was immediately relegated, going on to spend the following years again bouncing between divisions one and two, also being crowned champions in Segunda División B (the new third level, created in 1977) in 1991. Veteran Quique Setién returned to his main club the following year, helping it return to the top flight and scoring in the 1994–95 campaign against FC Barcelona, in a historic 5–0 home win.[3]

Racing was the first Spanish team to wear a sponsor's name on their shirt, namely the German electronics company Teka on 27 December 1981 away to Real Madrid; the corporation then sponsored the opponents early in the following decade.[4]

In the 2000s Racing only played one season in the second division, winning promotion with Setién as manager. In 2007–08, under Marcelino García Toral, it finished in sixth position, thus qualifying to the UEFA Cup for the first time ever; additionally the club reached the semifinals of the Copa del Rey twice during this decade, being ousted by eventual runners-up Getafe CF and Atlético Madrid in 2008 and 2010, respectively.[5]

On 22 January 2011 Indian business tycoon Ahsan Ali Syed, founder and chairman of Western Gulf Advisory, an investment company, purchased Racing de Santander, immediately firing coach Miguel Ángel Portugal.[6] The 2011–12 season brought with it three different managers, and the side returned to the second level after one full decade in the top division.[7]

At the end of the following campaign, Racing again finished in 20th position and suffered relegation,[8] also being immersed in a severe institutional and economic crisis.[9][10] In spite of that plight, the team was able to reach the quarterfinals in the 2013–14 edition of the domestic cup after ousting top-divisioners Sevilla FC[11] and UD Almería;[12] in the first leg against the latter, club fans stormed the presidential tribune at Estadio El Sardinero and assaulted chairman Ángel Lavín.[13]

On 27 January 2014 Racing's players, citing several months of unpaid wages, announced that they would not play their upcoming Cup match unless the club's president and board resigned. Three days later, prior to the second leg against Real Sociedad and after a 1–3 loss in the first match, Racing players gathered at the centre circle immediately after kick-off and refused to play. Referee Jesús Gil Manzano suspended the game after one minute, and the home team was given a loss due to forfeit;[14][15][16] as a result of the protest the club was fined and banned from the following edition of the tournament,[17] and on 31 January Lavín was sacked, with former player Juan Antonio Sañudo being appointed his successor by practically all the shareholders.[18]

Racing won group winner promotion play off against Llagostera and promoted back to second division, but was immediately relegated in the 2014-15 season.
