Official Website: rfef.es Description: Fútbol pronounced fuut-bowl. Occasionally referred to as balompie, which literally translates to foot ball. Although Athletic Bilbao were a dominant team in the first part of the 20th century, Spanish football has come to be dominated by Barcelona and Real Madrid. Their rivalry was especially tense during the Franco era, with political overtones ever-present. Despite the immense success of Spanish clubs in European competitions, the Spanish national team has achieved relatively little. The top tier is often referred to as La Liga, although technically that includes both national leagues - Primera and Segunda A.
