Abstract
This study tried to seek historical meaning, content and value of Spanish soccer and regionalism culture. I considered existing research materials and literatures. And I collected data from watching soccer and communicating with natives in Spain. These are my conclusion of this study. First, I can advert to Fernando and Isabel’s wedding. Queen Isabel is from Castilla while King Fernando is from Aragon. They had different politic tendency and it leaded to regionalism. They were a married couple but ruled their own native place respectively. Isabel did her best as a queen of Spain but Fernando focused on abroad things. It became a beginning of regionalism. Second, I can advert to Franco`s dictatorial regime. At this time, El Clasico which is the most famous and popular soccer game among the world is made. El Clasico is a game between team Real Madrid sponsored by government and team FC Barcelona which includes the public`s resentment. So now we can know this game has Politics, regionalism, culture etc. Team Real Madrid was Franco regime itself. But team FC Barcelona was against Franco regime and faced discrimination and oppression of government. Especially, government oppressed Catalonia on language, culture and lives so Catalonian tried to resolve their resentment playing and watching soccer.
