Real Club Celta de Vigo is a professional football team from Vigo, Spain. They are known by their nickname "Celtinias" (Little Celts). They host the visiting teams at Balaidos Stadium. The club was founded in 1923 by merging two clubs from the city - Real Fortuna de Vigo and Real Vigo Sporting. Among the several names proposed, Real Club Celta was chosen because most of the inhabitants of Galicia (a region in Spain) are identified with the ancient Celts, to whom they are heirs.
