Deportivo de La Coruña, affectionately known as “Depor” or “Super Depor”, is a historic Spanish football club based in A Coruña, Galicia. Founded in 1906, the club enjoyed its golden era in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when it challenged Spain’s elite, winning the Copa del Rey (1995, 2002) and the Supercopa de España (2000), while also reaching the UEFA Champions League semifinals (2004).
Depor’s success was built on stars like Bebeto, Roy Makaay, Juan Carlos Valerón, Djalminha, and Mauro Silva, who embodied the club’s attacking flair and underdog spirit.
The team plays at the Riazor, a stadium famed for its passionate atmosphere. Depor’s identity is rooted in Galician pride, resilience, and its giant-killing legacy—epitomized by their 1999–2000 La Liga title race, where they narrowly missed out to Barcelona. Though now in Segunda División, Depor remains a symbol of football romance, with its blue-and-white stripes forever tied to memories of their golden generation.
