History
Racing Club de Madrid was founded in 1914 by a merger of two Madrid clubs, Instituto Cardenal Cisneros and Regional FC, and joined the Federación Castellana in 1915.[1] They played in the top division of the Campeonato Regional Centro, attempting to qualify for the Copa del Rey which at that time was the national championship. They won the Centro Championship in 1915 and 1919,[2] but were unable to play in the 1915 Copa del Rey due to not having completed the registration process earlier in the year. In the 1919 Copa, Racing lost to eventual winners Arenas Club de Getxo after a replay.
The club disbanded in 1932. Its successor was AR Chamberí, which played only one Tercera División season and also folded in 1977. In 2022, a group of investors took over SAD Cenafe and renamed the club to Racing Madrid FC.
