Las Palmas

UD Las Palmas are the footballing pride of Gran Canaria, a club founded in 1949 on the largest of the Canary Islands whose yellow and blue colours represent one of Spain's most geographically distinctive football communities. A La Liga club through multiple eras, Las Palmas have always carried a sense of island identity and independence in Spanish football. Their 2023 promotion back to La Liga after years in the lower divisions brought a new generation of fans to the Estadio Gran Canaria and reminded Spain what a proper Canarian football occasion looks and feels like. Founded in 1949, UD Las Palmas are based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain, and compete in La Liga, the Spanish top division. They play at Estadio Gran Canaria. The club are nicknamed Los Amarillos (The Yellows). Major honours include the Segunda Division title and various promotions to La Liga across their history. Their home colours are yellow and blue. The yellow and blue home kit of Las Palmas is one of the most distinctive in Spanish football, instantly evoking the sun, sea, and spirit of Gran Canaria. The yellow shirt has been worn through various La Liga eras, including the club's first extended run in the top flight during the 1970s and 1980s. More recent kits from the 2023 to 2024 La Liga return season are already gaining collector status among island supporters. Kappa and other manufacturers have produced a range of designs across the decades, all anchored by that bold yellow and blue Canarian identity.
