Real Racing Club de Santander, S.A.D.
, sometimes abbreviated to Racing
or Racing Santander
, is a Spanish Primera División
football club based in Santander which was founded in 1913. During the period of Francoist Spain, it was renamed as Real Santander in 1941 (because of the prohibition of non-Spanish names). The name was restored in 1977. The best result of the club was 2nd in 1930-31 season. Racing Santander finished 6th in 2007-2008 and qualified for the UEFA Cup for the first time in their history.

1936 Algiers invitational tournament
In 1936, Racing de Santander competed in a four team invitational tournament in
Algiers,
Algeria. With Algeria then under
French colonial rule, the official programme
[1] listed the venue as
Stade-Velodrome Municipal d'Alger
and the participants as:
Le
Queen of the South -
La Belle Equipe Ecossaise de Première Division
Racing Club de Santander
-
Favori des Championnats d'Espagne
Floriana -
Champion Officiel et Vainqueur de la Coupe
R.U.A.
-
Champion de l'Afrique du Nord 1935
The match days were Thursday May 21 and Sunday May 24.
Home side
Racing Universitaire d'Alger
(R.U.A. for whom
Nobel Prize winning author/philosopher
Albert Camus had played in goals for their junior team) had already won both the
North African Champions Cup and the
North African Cup in the 30s (R.U.A. would win each twice by the decade's end). Goals by Willie Thomson and
Joe Tulip saw Queens book a place in the invitational tournament final with a 2 - 1 victory against them.
In the final Queens faced a Racing Santander side who had just finished 4th in Spain's
Primera División, notching home and away double victories against both
Real Madrid and
Barcelona. Racing had seen off Floriana in their semi final. Norrie Haywood's goal and a 1 - 0 scoreline saw victory for
La Belle Equipe Ecossaise
. The trophy can still be seen in Queens' club museum today.
