Real Sociedad de Fútbol, S.A.D., more commonly referred to as Real Sociedad in English and Erreala or Reala in Basque, is a Spanish professional sports club based in the city of San Sebastián, Basque Country. The club was founded on 7 September 1909 and is best known for its football team, which plays home matches at the 40,177-capacity Anoeta Stadium.
Real Sociedad won the Liga title in 1980–81 and 1981–82, and finished runner-up in 1979–80, 1987–88, and 2002–03. The club has also won the Copa del Rey four times, in 1909, 1987, 2020, and 2026, and the Spanish Super Cup once, in 1982. It contests the Basque derby against rivals Athletic Bilbao. Real Sociedad was a founding member of La Liga in 1929; its longest spell in the top flight was for 40 seasons, from 1967 to 2007.
Traditionally the club followed a policy of signing only Basque players, before signing Republic of Ireland forward John Aldridge in 1989. While a strong Basque contingent has been retained among its players, nowadays both non-Basque Spaniards and foreign players are represented at the club.
