Collection: Getafe Soccer Cards
Getafe Club de Fútbol’s modern history is among Spain’s most remarkable. Although the original club dates back to 1946, the modern Getafe was re-founded in 1983 after financial collapse — a resurrection that would soon lead to glory. By 2004, the modest club from Madrid’s southern suburbs achieved its first-ever promotion to La Liga, and they’ve been defying expectations ever since.
Under coaches like Bernd Schuster and José Bordalás, Getafe earned admiration for discipline, organization, and fearless defense. Their 2007 Copa del Rey run — including a stunning win over Barcelona — captured national attention, while their Europa League campaigns proved Getafe could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Europe’s elite.
Despite their limited resources, Getafe has built a distinct identity: hardworking, humble, and united. The Coliseum Alfonso Pérez may not rival Madrid’s grand stadiums in size, but its atmosphere speaks of true passion. The “Azulones” have turned perseverance into tradition — a living testament to what determination and collective effort can achieve.
