Not many people know this, but the Primera División, now known as the top division in the Spanish League or La Liga, is one of the most viewed leagues in the world. Fans from all around the world are tuning in to watch their favorite teams competing for the title of league champion. La Liga is interesting to follow indeed, with top teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia along with some of the best players in the world competing in the league.
La Liga was first founded in 1927, when Jose Maria Acha first proposed the concept of Spanish national league. The first Primera División was set to kick off in 1928, with ten of the best teams at that time — Barcelona, Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad, Arenas Club de Getxo and Real Unión, all previous winners of Copa del Rey, as well as Atlético Madrid, Espanyol and Europa who are all Copa del Rey runner-ups – inducted to this new league.
The league was proven to be successful indeed, capturing not only the attention of those who live in Spain but also people from all around the world in an instant. As the league expanded even further, more teams are inducted to be part of this magnificent league. It is now played with 20 of the best Spanish teams, with Real Madrid and Barcelona – also known as the Big Two – facing new challenges from younger teams including Deportivo La Coruña, Atlético Madrid, Sevilla, and of course Valencia.
