Madrid CFF, the story of the other club that aspired to be the female Real Madrid
Madrid CFF faces a special duel, since its birth was also linked to the idea of a future Real Madrid CFF. With a shield inspired by Real Madrid, it was founded by a Madrid businessman, Alfredo Ulloa, with the aim that his daughter, a goalkeeper, could play in Madrid in a women's team.
Given the impossibility of not being able to do in a non-existent Real Madrid Femenino, Ulloa created a club very similar to that of Chamartín in terms of name, shield and clothing. This similarity has always led him to be related to the Madrid club and aspired to become it, but Tacon finally won the battle.
“When my daughter started playing, the first thing I thought was: 'Well, let me play for Real Madrid.' Then you ask yourself: 'How does Real Madrid don't have a women's team?' The only option he had to play in Madrid in a team with a level was at Atlético de Madrid. I founded the club because my daughter couldn't play for Real Madrid. Madrid CFF emerged to fill, with a worthy project, the gap left by Real Madrid, “said the optical businessman, Real Madrid partner and former player of the white club, in an interview with As, as a goalkeeper in the youth category.
In its first seasons, the club played its matches at the Luis Aragonés Municipal Sports Center in the Canillas neighborhood. But, in 2017 he moved to the José Luis de la Hoz-Matapiñonera Stadium after reaching an agreement with the San Sebastián de los Reyes City Council and with the San Sebastián de los Reyes Sports Union to play their home games in this stadium in the Madrid city.
The Madrid CFF project has also started to find success, being one of the teams with the best course this season. In 2017, she was promoted to the First Iberdrola and, since then, has played in the highest Spanish category of women's football. With an exemplary quarry, with a score of federated teams, all female, the Madrid club is one of the ones that contributes the most players to the lower categories of the Spanish National Team.
