Real Club Celta de Vigo, commonly known as Celta Vigo, is a Spanish professional football club based in Vigo, Galicia.

Celta’s home ground is Balaídos, with a capacity of 24,870 seats. The club’s name reflects the region’s Celtic heritage, and their nickname, Os Celestes (The Sky Blues), reflects their blue-and-white colors.
