Founded in 1955, it is the [[reserve team]] of [[Real Sociedad]] and plays in {{Spanish football updater|Real Sociedad B}}, holding home games at ''Campo José Luis Orbegozo'' holding 2,500 spectators<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://uk.women.soccerway.com/teams/spain/real-sociedad-de-futbol/7269/venue/|title=Spain - Real Sociedad de Fútbol - Results, fixtures, squad, statistics, photos, videos and news|website=Soccerway|access-date=2020-01-24}}</ref> of the [[Zubieta Facilities]].

Unlike in nations such as [[English football league system|England]], reserve teams in [[Spanish football league system|Spain]] play in the same football pyramid as their senior team rather than a separate league. However, reserve teams cannot play in the same division as their senior team. Therefore, the team is ineligible for promotion to [[La Liga]], the division in which the main side plays. Reserve teams are also no longer permitted to enter the [[Copa del Rey]].

==History== The team's origin dates from 1952 when the [[Real Sociedad]] youth team were runners-up in the [[Copa del Rey Juvenil]] and the club's board sought to bridge the gap between the talented teenagers and the senior team: the concept of ''Real Sociedad de Fútbol Junior'' was introduced, but economic problems delayed its first official match until 1955, immediately after the youth team won the Copa Juvenil.<ref name="mediasiglo"/> After quickly gaining promotion to the third tier to become part of the national football pyramid, a name change was required to differentiate them from the senior team, and ''San Sebastián Club de Fútbol'' was chosen.<ref name="mediasiglo">[https://www.diariovasco.com/20070915/deportes/mas-futbol/sanse-cumple-medio-siglo-20070915.html El Sanse cumple medio siglo] [Sanse turns half a century], El Diario Vasco (in Spanish), 15 September 2007</ref> They first reached the [[Segunda División|second division]] in [[1959–60 Tercera División|1959–60]], and achieved a best ever classification in the category after finishing fifth [[1961–62 Segunda División|two years later]]; however, as the main squad was [[1961–62 La Liga|relegated]] from [[La Liga]], San Sebastián was ineligible for promotion, being relegated instead.<ref name="mediasiglo"/>

In 1980, ''Sanse'' was promoted to the newly created [[Segunda División B]], remaining in that category for 17 consecutive seasons. Afterwards they fluctuated between the third and fourth tiers, reaching the promotion playoffs of the former in 1991 and 2006 but subsequently falling short. In 1991, the club was renamed ''Real Sociedad de Fútbol B'', due to [[Liga de Fútbol Profesional]]'s rules prohibiting B clubs from having different names from their parent club, the exceptions being [[Real Madrid Castilla]] and [[Sevilla Atlético]]. Upon celebrating its 50-year anniversary in 2007, the team had used 486 players, preparing dozens to represent the first team including the vast majority of the squad that won the Spanish championship twice in succession ([[1980–81 La Liga|1980–81]] and [[1981–82 La Liga|1981–82]]).

A change in the club structure from 2016 meant that most Sanse players would be promoted from a new subsidiary, [[Real Sociedad C]] (previously known as Berio), who would play in [[Tercera División]] with under-20 graduates of the club's [[Real Sociedad Cantera|youth system]]. The Real Sociedad C team must play at least one division below Real Sociedad B.

In the [[2017–18 Segunda División B|2017–18 season]], the team finished third in Segunda División B.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.resultados-futbol.com/historico/Real-Sociedad-B/2018|title=Histórico R.
