Carlos Tartiere Alas-Pumariño (1900 – 31 July 1950) was a Spanish businessman who served as the first president of Spanish club Real Oviedo.

Biography

Tartiere was born in Lugones, Asturias, in 1900.[1] He was the son of José Tartiere, an industrial engineer of French descent,[1] and María de los Dolores de las Alas-Pumariño, the sister of conservative politician and writer Nicanor de las Alas Pumariño.

His father played a pivotal role in the establishment of Real Club Deportivo Oviedo. On March 26, 1926, he successfully promoted the merger of the former with Real Stadium Club Ovetense, forming Real Oviedo.[2] He became the first president of the newly formed club, a position he held until his death from leukemia on July 31, 1950.[1]

During his presidency, Real Oviedo became the first Asturian club to achieve promotion to Primera División, by achieving the Segunda División, followed by securing two third-place finishes in the top tier during the 1934–35 and 1935–36 seasons.[3] In his honor, the old stadium in Buenavista was renamed Estadio Carlos Tartiere on 22 June 1958,[4] a name that was retained for the new stadium, Estadio Municipal Carlos Tartiere.
