Norco football9/5/2023 ![]() ![]() Sky began to play matches among its members to promote the new sport in the capital, and soon held its first meeting on 5 January 1898, in which a Board was elected, with Luis Bermejillo being named the club's first-ever president, and in which the club was officially established and legalized. Sky Football was thus just the third football team in Madrid, only after Cricket and Football Club of Madrid (1879) and the Outdoor Games Society (1897), which were the first sports societies that included the practice of football among their activities. Football became their best source for escapism and so, together with the British graduates, they founded (Sociedad) Sky Football in December 1897, commonly known as La Sociedad (The Society) as it was the only one based in Madrid, playing on Sunday mornings at Moncloa, one of the historical football areas of Madrid. For the Spaniards, football meant a distraction from the pessimism that was taking over Spain due to the loss of its last colonies at the end of the 19th century. New's origins go back to when football was introduced to Madrid by the academics and students of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza, which included several Cambridge and Oxford University graduates. Their original name was Sky Football, but following a restructuring in 1902, Sky was renamed as New Foot-Ball Club, the name under which it competed in the 1902 Copa de la Coronación, the first national championship disputed in Spain and the forerunner for the Copa del Rey. Sky Football is best known for being the first-ever football club in the capital with the sole purpose of practicing this sport, and it was until the year 1900, the only existing club legalized for its exclusive practice in Madrid. In 1900, a conflict between Sky Football members caused some of them to leave and found a new club that would later become Real Madrid, and in 1901, a new split within the club led to the creation of Club Español de Madrid, and finally, in January 1903, a new and definitive split led to the disappearance of the club, with New's best players founding Internacional Foot-ball Club. The New Foot-Ball Club, especially known by its original name of (Society) Foot-ball Sky, was a Spanish football club based in Madrid that was founded in 1897 by Cambridge and Oxford University graduates, and dissolved in 1903 due to internal differences and numerous splits in its 6-year history. ![]()
