Real Betis, a professional football club competing in the La Liga, was founded by the local students belonging to the Polytechnic Academy based in Seville. The club opened with a different name- Espana Balompie. It got royal recognition, granted by King Alfonso XIII in 1914, which led to its present name, Real Betis Balompié. "Betis" comes from the Roman name for the Guadalquivir River, "Baetis," while "Balompié" refers to an old Spanish word for football. Real Betis was actually formed with a merger between Betis FC and Sevilla Balompié.
