In 1917, the Cantabrians joined forces with the Asturian clubs, and as the 'Cantabric Team', they played four official matches between 1917 and 1918, competing in the defunct Copa Príncipe de Asturias, an inter-regional competition organized by the Spanish Federation.

The last edition of the competition was a two-legged final between the winners of the previous two, Asturias and Catalonia, facing each other only for the right to keep the trophy, and Catalonia won both games (2–0 and 4–3), thus deeming Asturias to a silver medal, with the silver lining being a late brace in two minutes from Ramón Herrera.

On 23 December 2000, the Royal Asturian Football Federation rescued the Regional team to play a friendly game at Estadio Carlos Tartiere against Macedonia.

Asturias played two more games, against Lithuania in Gijón and Honduras in Avilés, ending its revival unbeaten.
