Domingo Queralt (1898 in Vigo - 1932) was a Spanish footballer who played as a midfielder.[1] He was part of the first-ever team fielded by Celta de Vigo in 1923.[2]
Born in Vigo, he began his career at his hometown club Sporting de Vigo, where he played alongside the likes of Luis Otero, Moncho Gil and Ramón González, all of which being members of the Spanish team that won the silver medal at the 1920 Summer Olympics.[2] He played for them until 1923, when it was merged with Fortuna de Vigo to form Celta de Vigo. Queralt played in the last match that was held between these two rivals on 11 March 1923, which Sporting won 1–0, courtesy of a goal from González.[3] The presentation match of Celta de Vigo was held at Coia on 16 September 1923, in a meeting between an A and a B team formed with the players from the club, taking advantage of the large team available that they had, and Queralt was one of the 11 footballers that lined-up for the B team.[4] Queralt played in all matches in Celta's first-ever Galician Championship title in 1923–24, before helping the club to a further two titles in the following two seasons, before retiring in 1927.[2]
