The Iberia Football Club, commonly referred to as Iberia FC, was a football club based in Madrid, Spain, which existed between 1903 and 1907.[1] Founded in early 1903, it was one of the first football clubs to have been founded in the Spanish capital, behind Madrid FC, Español de Madrid, Moncloa FC, and Moderno FC.[2]
The club is best known for participating in the first two editions of the Campeonato de Madrid. In 1904, however, all of its members left for the Moderno FC, which was in turn absorbed by Madrid FC, which caused Iberia to disappear from the Madrid scene until an attempt to reactivate it in 1907, the same year in which a new merger with the Sociedad Gimnástica led to its complete disappearance.
