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.

Real Betis was actually formed with a merger between Betis FC and Sevilla Balompié.
