About

Racing Club de Ferrol is a Spanish football club from Ferrol, leading its supporters in Primera Federación - Group 1 and offering a long, local identity for collectors and fans alike; Walkouts lists signed shirts and memorabilia that reflect the club’s history, provenance and on-field culture, rooted in a foundation year of 1919.

The team is based in the Province of A Coruña in the autonomous community of Galicia and plays home matches at Estadio da Malata, a coastal venue that has hosted many of the club’s memorable campaigns. Club colours are traditionally green shirts with white shorts, while early kits used green and white vertical stripes, details that matter to collectors searching for classic shirts and variants.

Although Racing de Ferrol has never reached La Liga, the club’s records and longevity are a central part of its appeal and its shirt market; historically the side has spent long spells in the Segunda División, a fact that underpins the modern collector interest and explains why there are no La Liga titles and no continental honours to the club’s name despite sustained second tier presence.

Collectors prize retail releases as much as match-worn pieces, and for Racing de Ferrol that means early fanshop runs, regional editions and player-issue variants sold through club outlets or at Estadio da Malata have become sought after. Anniversary productions and limited edition runs issued for milestone years add provenance, while visible wear, stitching details and original wash tags help separate standard retail shirts from rarer variants.

Anniversary editions and season-specific shirts can be central to a Racing de Ferrol collection, from centenary items to themed recreations tied to historic kits; season magnets can include campaigns where the club consolidated its Segunda División status and seasons that marked returns to national competition, and away colourways, supplier badges and sleeve details are often used to link shirts to specific fixtures and cup ties.

Collectors should note particular anniversary pieces such as Centenary 2019 and season releases like the 2019-20 season shirts, which are chased for their limited runs and commemorative detailing, and iconic away palettes such as white with green trim that echo the club’s traditional strip. Signed retail shirts with a visible provenance often carry a COA or equivalent verification, and early runs with player-replicas or region-specific numbering remain especially collectible.

For those tracing provenance, the club’s identity across the 2019-20 season and the 2018-19 season illustrates why specific campaign shirts matter, as fans and collectors look for original club shop releases, match-issued variations and signatures tied to appearances at Estadio da Malata and regional cup fixtures; final checks and photographic proof often accompany pieces listed through Walkouts in the closing sale narrative.

Honours

Racing de Ferrol’s honours narrative is built on endurance and consistency across Spain’s league structure. While the club has not appeared in La Liga, it has been a long-standing presence in the nation’s second tier, earning a unique distinction for resilience. The team holds the record for the most time spent at that level without reaching the top flight, registering 35 seasons among the professional ranks. Across more than a century of competition, Racing have also maintained a solid footing in the modern semi-professional landscape, competing in Primera Federacion - Group 1. Their sustained competitiveness in LaLiga 2 and contribution to the game in Galicia have been defining marks of pride, often expressed through strong league campaigns and hard-fought performances rather than silverware. Home form at Estadio da Malata has underpinned many of these durable seasons, reflecting a club identity that prizes commitment, player development and difficult-to-beat teams over headline trophy counts.
