About RCD Mallorca

RCD Mallorca is a Spanish football club based in Palma, on the island of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands. Founded in 1916 under the name Alfonso XIII Foot-Ball Club, the team later went through several name changes before becoming Real Club Deportivo Mallorca. The club quickly became the main representative of football in the region and developed its identity as “Los Bermellones,” known for their red kit and strong local following. It plays its home matches at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, which has been its modern home since the late 1990s.

Throughout its history, Mallorca has experienced frequent movement between divisions, but it has also had notable successful periods in Spanish football. The club’s peak came in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when it achieved high La Liga finishes and established itself as a competitive top-flight side. During this era, Mallorca also reached major domestic and European milestones, including competing in continental tournaments and building a reputation as a difficult opponent, especially at home.

In terms of honours, RCD Mallorca has won the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa de España, marking the most important trophies in its history. The club has also been a regular presence in La Liga and has occasionally qualified for European competitions, reflecting its ability to compete at a high level despite its relatively modest size compared to Spain’s biggest clubs. Today, Mallorca continues to balance periods in La Liga with rebuilding phases, supported by a loyal fanbase and a strong regional identity.
