Hi, I’m Carlos! A coach, sports enthusiast, and the founder of FCScout.com.
I fell in love with the game at a very young age like many of you. I’ve been following and playing soccer for many years.
Throughout my career, I always enjoyed helping soccer players chase their dreams, which is why I started this website. I wanted to reach a larger audience outside of my local area and fcscout.com was born.
This website is a platform I will be using to update club pages on any tryouts, stadiums, players, tech, and more from clubs around the world. I also create free recruitment profiles for players looking to have that extra competitive edge when reaching out to clubs.
That’s it. That’s my pitch for you to stick around (or browse the site as you please).
This is already too much text for a “see more” drop-down button thing. If you want to reach out to me, head on over to my contact page 🙂

RC Celta de Vigo History
The name of the club comes from the ancient people known as the Celts, who inhabited this area in the past. Its primary adversary is another club from Galicia, Deportivo La Corua, with which it competes head-to-head in the Galician derby. Celta has never been able to win either the league title or the Copa del Rey, despite making it all the way to the final three times in the latter competition.
In the 2002–03 season, the club achieved their best-ever performance, which was fourth place. As a result, they qualified for the UEFA Champions League in the 2003–04 season, although they were ousted by Arsenal in the round of 16. Celta made it all the way to the semifinals of the UEFA Europa League for the first time in the 2016–17 season, however they were ultimately eliminated by Manchester United.
Stadium
The Estadio Municipal de Balados in Vigo, Spain, is a stadium that only has seating for spectators and is known as Abanca-Balados due to sponsorship reasons.
The stadium, which serves as the home turf for Celta Vigo and has a capacity of 29,000 people, is named after the club.
Crest
The club badge, like the badges of many other Galician clubs such as Compostela and Racing Ferrol, is based on the cross of Saint James, which is a red cross. A light blue shield bearing two capital Cs rests atop the cross in its uppermost position (Club Celta).
Celta was one of several Spanish football clubs that were granted patronage by the Spanish monarch in 1923. As a result of this, the clubs were given the right to use Real (Royal) in their titles and the royal crown on their badges.
Celta was one of these clubs. In recognition of the fact that Alfonso XIII had bestowed this privilege to Celta, the club was rechristened as Real Club Celta de Vigo shortly thereafter. The term “Real” was removed from the club’s name and the crown of King Felipe VI was removed from the club emblem during the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1936); however, all of these elements were reinstated during the reign of the Spanish State.
Ownership
Manuel Carlos Mourio Atanes is a Spanish-Mexican businessman and the president of the Spanish football team Celta de Vigo. He was born on March 4, 1943 in Vigo, Spain, and is the president of the club. He is the father of the late Juan Camilo Mourio, who served as Mexico’s Secretary of the Interior before his untimely passing.
