Real Zaragoza is an association football club based in Zaragoza, Spain, that plays in the Segunda División. The club was formed in 1932 from a merger between Iberia SC and Real Zaragoza CD. It first appeared in La Liga in the 1939–40 season, finishing in 7th position.[1] The team has never won La Liga, but were Segunda División champions in 1977–78. It has had more success in cup competitions, winning the Copa del Rey six times between 1964 and 2004, plus the Supercopa de España in 2004. Real Zaragoza has also made a mark in European competitions, winning the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (predecessor to the UEFA Europa League) in 1964 and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1995.

Ewerthon, pictured here scoring for Terek Grozny in Russia in 2011, holds the record for most goals in a single season, netting 28 times during 2008–09
