Levante Unión Deportiva is located in Valencia. According to Wikipedia, Levante UD is the older of two main clubs based in Valencia. The club was originally formed in 1909 as Levante FC, taking their name from Levante, the name used to refer to the eastern coast of Spain. In 1937 Levante FC won the Copa de la Espana Libre, a cup competition organised in the Republican area of Spain. They adopted their current name in 1942 following a merger with Gimnástico FC. During the early 1980s Johan Cruyff briefly played for the club.
