Real Club Deportivo de La Coruña football club, based in the port city of A Coruña in Galicia, has a proud and rich history. It was founded in 1906 under the name Club Deportivo de la Sala Calvet, in honour of the renowned gym where Federico Calvet, an athlete and gymnastics instructor, taught fencing and physical education, and where the first players of the future football team trained. In its early years, matches were played at the Plaza de Toros, the local bullring, and later at the Corral de la Gaitera (Field of the Gaita Players). But by 1909, as football&#8217;s popularity grew, the club moved to the Riazor pitch. That same year, the team adopted its current name, adding the title “Real” (pronounced reh-AHL), which means “royal” in Spanish, after King Alfonso XIII accepted the honorary presidency, and proudly incorporated the royal crown into its emblem.
Throughout its history, the club has celebrated many achievements, including two Copa del Rey titles, three Spanish Super Cups, and a La Liga championship in the 1999/2000 season. Deportivo also made an impressive run in Europe, appearing in five consecutive UEFA Champions League campaigns and reaching the semi-finals in 2003/2004.
Today, the team competes in the Segunda División, Spain’s second division football.
In recent years, the club has renovated its sports centre in Abegondo, a town at less than an hour drive from A Coruña. This is where training sessions and matches for the youth teams now take place.
The main training pitch, laid with natural grass, has been fitted with a cutting-edge lighting system from Disano, a global leader in sports facility lighting. The lighting design included the installation of Forum floodlights, Disano&#8216;s flagship product and an ideal alternative to traditional lighting.
Suitable for arenas of all sizes and types, Forum LED fixtures are known for their advanced technical performance. They are the first choice when maximum lighting efficiency and optimal visibility for athletes and spectators are required. These key standards are demanded by international sports bodies such as FIFA and CONI for modern competitions.
Forum floodlights provide a stable light output (low flicker), free from glare, with outstanding colour rendering, which are lighting qualities demonstrating Disano&#8216;s commitment to visual comfort. In addition, their LED technology is designed to minimise environmental impact, reflecting the Italian company&#8217;s focus on sustainability and the well-being of the planet.
Moreover, floodlights with similar features were chosen to make lighting not only efficient and environmentally friendly, but also cost-effective, thus enabling a significant cut in energy and maintenance costs.
This is the reason why Forum can be defined as the perfect floodlight for any type of outdoor application, from sports facilities to large venues and infrastructure.
What&#8217;s more, the floodlights installed at the Spanish training grounds are equipped with DALI drivers, allowing full control over the lighting.
This means RC Deportivo de La Coruña’s sports centre benefits from outstanding illumination. The Forum floodlights provide a stable light output that is safe, energy-efficient, and, just as importantly, environmentally friendly.
