The 2023/24 season coincided with the centenary of Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, a club founded in 1923 and one of the historical benchmarks of football in northern Spain. The team from León competed in Group I of the Primera Federación—the third tier of Spanish football—with the goal of earning a promotion and celebrating the anniversary as it deserved. A hundred years of history in a football-loving city, with the Reino de León stadium as its habitual stage and a loyal fanbase that has accompanied the club through decades of ups and downs between professional and semi-professional football. The centenary was an occasion to reclaim the club’s identity and its place on the Spanish football map, with commemorative kits that visually defined the season. They ultimately finished in sixth place.
The item is the third shirt from the 2023/24 centenary season, manufactured by Kappa, in a Match Issue version—prepared to be worn in competition, with finishes and technical specifications superior to the commercial replica. Size S. A commemorative edition piece with double value: that of the club's centenary and that of the issued version, which distinguishes it from units intended for the general public. For collectors of Spanish non-professional football and Kappa kits, a rare combination on the market.
