Real Valladolid
The club of Ronaldo Nazário. Real Valladolid gained global attention when the Brazilian World Cup legend purchased a majority stake in 2018, bringing international investment and ambition to Castile. The Blanquivioletas are a club with deep regional roots and a new chapter being written under one of football's greatest ever names.
History
Founded in 1928, Real Valladolid have spent periods in La Liga throughout their history and are one of the most recognisable clubs in Castile and León. They have produced several Spanish internationals and have a loyal fanbase in the city of Valladolid that has supported the club through multiple promotions and relegations.
The club's profile changed dramatically in 2018 when Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazário purchased a majority stake, bringing global attention and investment to the club. Under his ownership, Valladolid have competed in La Liga and are currently pushing for promotion back to the top flight from La Liga 2, with renewed ambition and a growing international following.
Kit History & Colours
Purple and white — the Blanquivioletas colours that make Valladolid one of the most distinctive clubs in Spanish football. The purple shirt is unique in La Liga and La Liga 2, and the combination of purple and white has become synonymous with the club's identity and Castilian pride.
Their kits have gained increased global recognition since Ronaldo's takeover, and the purple of Valladolid is a colour that stands out in any stadium and carries the history of one of Spain's most characterful clubs.
