The rapid growth of football enthusiasts and entities led to the creation of the first football associations in charge of its regulation.[citation needed] The first football association founded in Spain was the Catalan Football Federation (Catalan: Federaci Catalana de Futbol), established in Catalonia on 11 November 1900, as the Football Association of Catalonia (Catalan: Football Associaci de Catalunya).[38][70] With the first associations also came the first competitions and tournaments, such as the Copa Macaya on 6 January 1901,[70] which was organized on the initiative of Alfonso Macaya: the then honorary president of Hispania AC, who went on to win the first edition of the competition, thus becoming the very first Spanish club to win an official title.[38][71] Copa Macaya was the first tournament ever played in Spain and all Iberian Peninsula and was the predecessor of the Catalan football championship (Catalan: Campionat de Catalunya). The Copa Macaya is recognized as the first Catalan championship.[72] The Catalan Championship emerged just a few days after the Campeonato de Madrid, whose first edition was won by Moderno FC.[73]
