Xacobeo Galicia was a professional continental cycling team from Spain. It competed in the UCI Europe Tour and, when selected as a wild card, in UCI ProTour events. The creation of the team was announced on July 11, 2006, as Fundación Ciclismo Galego following the withdrawal of four of the nine Spanish professional cycling teams from the sport. Xacobeo Galicia was managed by Rodrigo Rodriguez, with assistance from directeur sportifÁlvaro Pino, Jesús Blanco Villar and José Angel Vidal.
In 2006, the Galician regional government, the Xunta de Galicia, proposed the creation of a Galician professional cycling team in an attempt to emulate the success the Basque government-sponsored Euskaltel–Euskadi team.
The project received not only the economic support of the Xunta but that of the former Russian international footballerValery Karpin, who following his retirement had set up Valery Karpin, S.L., a property company in the region.
On August 26, 2008, with the acquisition of a new sponsor the team changed its name from Karpin Galicia to Xacobeo Galicia.
