From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Real Oviedo (Asturian: Real Uviéu) is a football team from Oviedo in Asturias. Founded on March 26, 1926, they currently play in the Segunda División B and they are the Asturian team with the most seasons played in Primera División.
They play in blue, with white shorts. Home stadium is the Nuevo Carlos Tartiere that seats 30,000 spectators.
Originally playing in the Primera División shortly after inception, the gap caused by the Civil War meant that the club could not push on from earlier successes. When La Liga play was resumed in the 1939, the team were relegated to the second divsion as their pitch was unplayable (Francos troops had used the stadium as an ammunition dump). From then on, Oviedo have tended to hover between promotion and demotion, once descending as low as the Segunda B in the 1980s. Promoted to the Primera división in 1988, they remained there till the 2001-02 season, finishing as high as sixth in the 1990-91 season. Recently they were relegated down to the third division for financial reasons and they are slowly working their way back up to the premier currently riding high in Segunda 'B'.
