Real Sociedad de Futbol "C" is a Spanish football team based in San Sebastian, in the autonomous community of Basque Country. It is the second reserve team of Real Sociedad and plays in Segunda Division RFEF – Group 2.

History

Founded in 1998 as Club Deportivo Berio Futbol Taldea, in 2016 the team was integrated fully into the structure of Real Sociedad, becoming its second reserve squad. In the previous two seasons, after gaining promotion to the Tercera Division, Berio operated as a farm team for Real Sociedad but still played at their own stadium wearing their traditional green kit. From then on, they would play at Zubieta and wear Real Sociedad blue-and-white colours.

In general, the Real C squad consists graduates from the club's youth system aged between 17 and 20, and successful players will move up to Real Sociedad B (Sanse) after one or two seasons. The Real Sociedad C team must play at least one division below Sanse, who must themselves play one division lower than the main Real Sociedad team.
