The club’s famous nickname

The origins behind the club’s El Submarino Amarillo nickname – the ‘Yellow Submarine’ in English – are twofold. One is the striking yellow of the team’s kit; the other, the fact that their fans started singing a Spanish cover of The Beatles’ popular song of the same name to celebrate promotion from the fourth to the third tier back in 1967, just one year after the song was released by the iconic band from Liverpool. The nickname has stuck ever since.
