Real Sociedad de Fútbol is a football club based in Donostia-San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Spain.
San Sebastian Football Club was formed on a casual basis in 1905; they first won the Copa del Rey, Spain's primary knockout competition, in 1909 – due to a registration issue their players entered under the name of a local cycling group, Club Ciclista de San Sebastián. Following their victory, they were more formally founded as Sociedad de Fútbol, receiving royal patronage a year later. They eventually won the cup in a more definite manner in 1987, for a third time in 2020 (with a victory over Athletic Bilbao, their local rivals, in the final which was postponed by a year) and a fourth victory in 2026.
The club were founder members of La Liga in 1929 and have been participants in the country's highest division for the majority of the time since (2026–27 being their 80th entry), with short periods (16 seasons in total) in the lower Segunda División. La Real won the championship in consecutive seasons, 1980–81 and 1981–82, with a squad that was entirely home-grown. They first qualified for the UEFA Cup in 1974; as of July 2026, their continental record includes 20 seasons and 120 matches played.
Over 100 players have reached the milestone of 100 league appearances for Real Sociedad; in most cases these were all made in the top division – the list below has single columns for league appearances and goals, with lower-division contributions indicated.
