The Spain SailGP Team, now known as Los Gallos SailGP Team, was founded in 2021, stepping in after the China SailGP Team withdrew. The team competes in the SailGP series, an international sailing competition featuring national teams racing aboard high-performance F50 foiling catamarans. These races are designed to be fast-paced and exciting for spectators, showcasing advanced sailing technology. The team is currently led by Spanish Olympic gold medalist Diego Botin. Antonio Alquézar was appointed as the CEO of the team in June 2023.
In the 2023-24 season, the Spain SailGP Team secured their first SailGP championship, defeating Australia and New Zealand in the Grand Final in San Francisco. This victory marked them as only the second team to ever win a SailGP championship after Australia. Most recently, in June 2025, the team won the SailGP event in New York, placing them at the top of the Season 5 leaderboard. However, in January 2026, the team had to withdraw from an event in Fremantle due to significant damage to their boat during practice. Despite these setbacks, Los Gallos partnered with DENZA for the 2026 and 2027 SailGP seasons. The league is in the process of selling the Spanish team.
