When football became a professional sport in the 1920s, the Spanish Federation devised a competition to promote the competitiveness of amateur football and to promote young players who still had the potential to become professionals. This competition began in 1930 and was popularly called "Championship of Spain Amateur", although it evolved over the decades, to the point that a regulation was established by which only allowed the participation of players under 23 years, reason why in some regions, like Murcia, happened to be known like "Championship of Amateurs Sub 23".
