A century of existence as the governing body of football in Aragon. As a catalyst for its promotion and development. Loyal collaborator and partner in the growth of Spanish football. Of his achievements. An infinite list of milestones resulting from personal and collective effort, with outstanding characters whose names will endure as an indelible part of the history of Aragonese football. A centenary history also supported by the good work of the Aragonese clubs, those of before, those of today, pillars of the Royal Aragonese Football Federation.
Heritage that, on the occasion of the centenary celebration, deserves to be remembered, prestigious and known by all, especially by current generations.
On January 25, 1922, the Aragonese Football Federation was established. A century of history full of great episodes, all of which deserve to be recalled on the occasion of its centenary.
From the inauguration of the Torrero field, with the match between Iberia -the seed of Real Zaragoza- and Osasuna, the first match of the National Team (1929) against France (8-1)... at La Romareda Stadium, inaugurated in 1956, headquarters of Spain's rivals in the 1982 World Cup and sub-site in the 1992 Olympiad.
A vast trunk with data and stories that define those 100 years of Aragonese football history, always with great effect on Spanish football as a whole. Even in the offices, since there were two Aragonese who became president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation: José Luis Costa and José Luis Roca.
A contribution to which Real Zaragoza contributed decisively, with a list of winners worth noting. And with a long list of outstanding footballers and coaches.
Correos joins the large number of acts and recognitions carried out to commemorate the centenary by issuing a stamp in which, in addition to the logo specially created for the 100th anniversary, a soccer player appears, highlighting women's soccer.
The Aragonese Football Federation has more than 40,000 people affiliated with this territory in the 2,149 registered teams.
Although Aragón occupies the eleventh position in terms of number of licenses and inhabitants among the 19 communities, it rises to third place in the ratio of the number of licenses per inhabitant.
In the national ranking it occupies the eleventh position among the 19 Spanish communities in terms of number of licenses according to data from the Spanish Football Federation, the same position in terms of inhabitants among the communities (1,313,463). Where it does advance considerably is the ratio that it has at the national level in terms of the number of licenses per inhabitant, where it ranks third among the 19 communities, with one license for 32.7 inhabitants.
