[edit] History

The team first reached the Primera División in the 1947-48 season, as champions of the Segunda. In the following year, the team pushed on from this success and reached the finals of the Copa del Rey in the Chamartín stadium against Athletic Bilbao, eventually losing 4-1.

The next ten years until 1957-58 were spent in the first division. Relegation was short-lived and Valladolid gained promotion in 1958-59 with 5-0 win over Terrasa under the trainer José Luis Saso, a legendary figure in the history of the team. He had originally been a goalkeeper for Valladolid, and he subsequently went on to perform many roles, ending up as president of the club.

Valladolid vacillated between the first and second divisions in the subsequent years, descending as low as third in 1970-71. More recently, the team has not been relegated since promotion to the Primera in the 1992-93 season. Their highest position during this period was 7th in 1996-97.

Real Valladolid has won the Spanish League Cup once, in 1983.
