西班牙足球文化的形成经历了漫长的历史演化，与社会的发展密切相关，烙印上了强烈的政治宗教色彩，却在民主转型的过程中迎来了西班牙足球的辉煌期。纵观西班牙足球的发展，“卡斯蒂利亚精神”、“加泰罗尼亚之魂”、“大众镇静剂”、“传统保守”、“运动之王”、“体育新宗教”等因子，成为西班牙足球文化的精神财富，拯救了年轻人的灵魂，为西班牙留下了丰厚的文化遗产。总体来看，西班牙足球形成了繁富的文化样态，以深沉的政治宗教底蕴、鲜明的民族主义色彩和成熟的青训体系为主要特点，受政治宗教语境、民族主义语境、政策组织制度语境、人才培养语境的影响，生成了独特的足球文化机制，对中国足球文化振兴和足球改革发展提供了有意义的域外借鉴。

The Spanish football culture， which has experienced a long historical evolution， is closely related to the development of Spanish society. Although colored by its strong political and religious context during the Franco period， it ushered in a glorious period of Spanish football in the process of democratic transformation. Throughout the development of Spanish football， such factors as “the spirit of Castilianism”， “the soul of Catalonia”， “the calming of the mass”， “the conservative and traditional features” ，“the king of sport”，“the new religion of sport”， among many others， have enriched Spanish football culture and saved the soul of young people， forming a rich cultural heritage for Spain. In general， Spanish football has formed a rich cultural physiognomy， characterized by a deep political and religious heritage， a distinctive nationalism and a mature system of training young players. A specific football mechanism thus forms due to the political and religious context， the nationalist and organizational policies， and the young player training system， providing an important framework for the revitalizing of Chinese football culture and for the promoting of its reform and development.
