El fútbol riojano en el siglo XX: el Logroño Recreation Club y el Club Deportivo Logroño (1912-1931)
(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2021) Crespo, J. (Javier); Mota-Zurdo, D. (David)
Football was introduced in Spain over the last decades of the 19th century and it was recognised as a mass sport in the first third of the 20th century. It was a period full of ups and downs: while some new clubs showed up, some others disappeared due to competition debates between teams and federations. The aim of this article is to analyze the football consolidation in Logroño throughout the most important football clubs of that time: Logroño Recreation Club and Club Deportivo Logroño. During this period more clubs appeared but they weren't as important for the Rioja's football development as the ones mentioned before. To end up, some sport and constitutional issues caused by the incorporation of the Rioja's teams into the Gipuzkoan Football Federation have been analysed.
