The Story of Atlètic Balears

By Liam Borchers

The idyllic island of Mallorca is known for many things, such as splendid beaches, abundant palms, and the ever-relaxing atmosphere. It is one of the go-to destinations for many tourists, and its capital Palma is one of the biggest cities in Spain. Football plays an important role in Mallorcan society, with the well-known Real Mallorca being the most popular club. However, this book is about the second club from the city: Atl tic Balears. Playing in the third division of Spanish football, Atl tic Balears is a unique club founded by the working-class in a time when football was still only for the elite. This has led Atl tic Balears to experience a tough history, and it is a true miracle that the club is still alive today. This book will uncover many anecdotes, stories, and other moments in the more than 100-year-long history of Atl tic Balears: from the terrifying moments when it almost disappeared and the different stadiums that the club has called home to the unique rivalry with Real Mallorca and the magnificent people that have played an important role in the history of the club. This is Atl tic Balears.
