Effort to Save Soccer Club Sweeps Globe

"Real Oviedo, a soccer team in the proud province of Asturias, is about 300 miles north of Madrid and about a million miles behind Real Madrid, the powerhouse that along with F.C. Barcelona defines Spanish soccer. Once a top-tier club, Real Oviedo tumbled as low as the fourth division, undone by years of financial negligence and political strife...

Barcelona, but the effort, which ends Saturday, might keep it alive." (Quoted from article)
