Such an ambitious, exciting, high-profile project requires an equally ambitious, exciting, high-profile leader, so it is with great honour and privilege that we are able to announce the first Honorary President of Leeds United Iberia: Don Marcelo Alberto Bielsa Caldera (Marcelo Bielsa).
In his time at Leeds United, Marcelo created a unique spirit and identity for our club, and for the whole city of Leeds, and with him as our figurehead we have ambitions to do the same for Leeds fans spread wide across the Iberian Peninsula; to bring them together and to provide strong and visible representation of them, to Leeds United.
In our first season as a group, we attracted membership from Leeds fans living in Lisbon, Madrid, Malaga, Valencia, and Gibraltar, and already have new interest from fans in Barcelona and Benidorm. In April, we secured tickets for a game at Elland Road and organised a joint trip for fans from across the group, and we aim to do the same again every season - especially exciting now that Leeds United has gained promotion back to the Premier League.
If you are a Leeds fan living anywhere on the Iberian Peninsula, you can contact us via email, text message, Facebook, or internet, to establish a new fan group or
simply to meet up with other Leeds fans in your area and watch matches together, or to attend events we will be organising, including next season’s trip to Elland Road. Contact details are provided at the foot of this page.
We would like to send our profound thanks to Marcelo for accepting our invite to become our first President, and we look forward to meeting new Leeds fans, all Marching On Together from across Iberia.
