Álava has a football tradition that dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, making it a historical benchmark within Basque football. The first organized teams emerged around 1908 with a primitive Deportivo Alavés, but the definitive impetus came in 1920 with the establishment of Sport Friend’s Club in Vitoria. This club was refounded shortly afterward to become Deportivo Alavés, laying the foundations for football fandom in the city.
Over the decades, Álava's clubs adopted different names and structures, until consolidating as Deportivo Alavés.
The matches were held in emblematic venues such as the Campo del Camino de Lasarte and, later, the Mendizorroza stadium (inaugurated in 1924), which became the epicenter of the city's football life. The stadiums, uniforms, and colors of the local clubs have shaped the aesthetic of classic football in the city. Understanding this history allows us to grasp the evolution of football shirt designs, sportswear fashion, and the importance of historical kits as cultural artifacts.
