This company is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. It was founded in March 1902. As the most successful club of the 20th century, the club holds several records and is also the football club with most European cups. In addition, it has a similarly successful basketball section. As one of the founding members of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association), the club operates the Real Madrid team, which have been European Champions a record nine times and have won 30 La Liga titles. It also operates a reserve football team, Real Madrid Castilla, and a basketball team, Real Madrid Baloncesto, and is trying to sponsor a rugby team, CRC Madrid Noroeste, and a Formula One team. The club has been owned and operated only by its members (socios) since 1902. Throughout its history, the club has acquired a lot of nicknames. The first ones were los merengues, because of the white dessert meringue, and los blancos. Both simply referred to the club's legendary all-white strip and remain the most common to this day. In the 1970s, the nickname los vikingos became popular, due to the signings of several northern European players. Moreover, the media called the club los galácticos, referring to club's tendency to sign the most famous players in the world.
