About

Founded on 23 July 1930, Girona Futbol Club, S.A.D., from Girona, Catalonia, competes in La Liga and stages home fixtures at Estadi Montilivi, a compact venue beloved by local supporters. The club progressed rapidly after promotion in 2022 and its recent rise includes UEFA Champions League qualification, a step that elevated demand for match and retail shirts. Walkouts lists selected signed shirts and limited pieces tied to that modern ascent.

The club’s identity is rooted in Catalan football and its ownership by City Football Group has brought wider exposure and new collector interest without erasing local traditions. Girona’s structure includes youth teams and a women’s setup, and collectors frequently trace provenance to official match reports, club issue tags and season editions when assessing a shirt’s history.

Estadi Montilivi is central to provenance stories, with derby days in the regional Derbi català attracting particular attention from buyers who prize match-worn provenance and clear photographic evidence. Provenance notes in the market often reference specific match programmes and stadium photography when tracing a shirt from match to archive, which helps separate retail runs from player-issued pieces.

Anniversary releases draw specialist interest; the club’s 2020 90 years commemorative crest and related shirts are cited by collectors for their short run production and unique crest treatments. Those post-1970 anniversary editions are easier to verify against contemporary club statements, and limited commemorative badges make them a distinct subset for framed display.

Seasonal magnets include the 2017-18 La Liga debut campaign, chased because it marks Girona’s first top-flight season, and the 2023-24 breakthrough season that secured UCL entry, where both player-issue and early retail runs are prized. Shirts from these campaigns are sought for match provenance, squad listings, and stitch variations that indicate player-issue status.

The club’s iconic away designs are part of the collector story, notably the Black away 2023-24 variant tied to several landmark away wins that defined that campaign. Fanshop retail shirts remain collectable, not only match-worn items, and early retail runs, limited region-specific releases and documented player-issue variants from the 23-24 UCL-qualifying matches are especially prized by buyers looking for documented lineage.

For buyers seeking authenticated pieces, clear documentation matters and many listings include COA or exact photo proof alongside product imagery. Free worldwide shipping is available on selected items, and verified pieces covering the 2017-18 debut and the 2023-24 UCL-qualifying run are highlighted with photographic provenance and supplier-era details, making them suitable acquisitions for display or framing at home with confidence on Walkouts.

Honours

Girona FC’s achievements are defined by clear competitive milestones. A breakthrough arrived with their La Liga debut in 2017-18, marking the club’s first top-flight season. Progress accelerated with promotion through the 2022 Segunda Division play-offs and swift consolidation among Spain’s elite. The 2023-24 campaign produced a first-ever top-three league finish, securing qualification for the UEFA Champions League and opening a new chapter in continental competition. That progress led into their first participation in 2024-25, illustrating a measured rise from play-off contenders to established top-tier performers. Recognition also came via the IFFHS Club World Ranking, where Girona appeared at rank 162, reflecting an upward competitive curve. Many of these steps unfolded at Estadi Montilivi, where the club’s growth has been matched by a committed support. Together, these markers form the headline narrative of Girona FC’s modern era at home and in Europe.
