Deportivo La Coruna
Deportivo La Coruna is now Real Club Deportivo de A Coruña. The club announced the results of the binding vote at its extraordinary meeting on June 23, 2026.
What happened?
The blue and white entity opened the survey to members on Wednesday and closed it on Sunday. It offered two options: to keep the name as Real Club Deportivo de La Coruña or to adapt it to the official toponym of the city.
Why is it important for Deportivo La Coruna?
The possible name change had been a recurring topic of debate since 1998, when the city was officially renamed A Coruña. The members developed initiatives to request this vote, which was finally carried out coinciding with the club's 120th anniversary.
What comes next?
The club is working on creating a anthem along with Coruña musician Xoel López, with the aim of making it an element of union for all Deportivo fans. The anthem aspires to be a contemporary expression of the blue and white identity and an emotional legacy for future generations.
