Ricardo Andrés Ugalde Moneo (5 November 1877 – Unknown) was a Spanish footballer who played as a defender for Athletic Bilbao.
[3] Ugalde was one of the first players of the newly created Basque team, for whom he played a few friendly matches against city rivals Athletic Club in the Hippodrome of Lamiako.
[4] For instance, he featured as a midfielder in Bilbao FC's first-ever victory over Athletic on 15 December,[5] thus playing a pivotal role in this historic rivalry that served as one of the drivers of football as a mass phenomenon in Bilbao since their duels aroused great expectation.
[4] At the beginning of the spring of 1902, Ugalde managed to arrange two friendly matches with the Bordeaux-based side Burdigala,[6] and in order to face them, the two rivals agreed to join the best players of each club in a temporary merge that became known as Club Bizcaya and despite the inclusion of six English from Bilbao FC, Ugalde earned a spot in the starting eleven in Bordeaux on 9 March, the first time a Bilbao team played on foreign territory, helping his side to a 2–0 win.
[6][8] Although he did not play in the final, Ugalde started in the quarterfinals against RCD Espanyol (5–1) and in the semifinals against New Foot-Ball Club (8–1).
