Biography

Formation

Club Deportivo Alcoyano, S.A.D. was founded in 1928 in Alcoy, Valencia, emerging from a merger between two local clubs, Levante and Racing. The roots of the club trace back to the Boxing Club Deportivo Alcoyano, which had a successful football section that inspired the formation of the football club after a series of victories against major teams in 1927. Initially, Alcoyano did not join the Royal Spanish Football Federation until four years later, marking the beginning of its official journey in Spanish football.

Historical Achievements

Alcoyano made its debut in the Segunda División in 1942, and just three years later, in 1945, the club achieved its first promotion to La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football. Their inaugural match in La Liga ended in a narrow 2–3 defeat against Real Murcia, and despite a challenging season that saw them relegated, Alcoyano's historical significance was cemented. The club's most notable achievement came during the 1947–48 season when they finished 10th in La Liga, even outperforming the prestigious Real Madrid. However, the following decades saw the club oscillate between the third and fourth divisions, with only brief stints in the second tier.

Recent Developments

In recent years, Alcoyano has been competing in the Segunda Federación – Group 3, playing its home games at Estadio El Collao, which has a capacity of 4,850 seats. The club's long history reflects its resilience and dedication to the sport, maintaining a loyal fan base despite the ups and downs of competitive football in Spain.

Career & Clubs

History

The city of Alcoy had a very important club, the Boxing Club Deportivo Alcoyano. In 1927 its football section won a large number of games against major clubs which led to the formation of the football club. Club Deportivo Alcoyano saw the light in 1928, after a merger between two clubs in the city, Levante and Racing. However, it only joined the Royal Spanish Football Federation four years later. In 1942, the club first reached the Segunda División, going on to alternate between that level and the top flight in the subsequent years. Their debut in the latter took place with a 2–3 home loss against Real Murcia, in an eventual relegation, as second from bottom. In that season the club got only 8 points and conceded 28 goals in 14 games played, the worst result among 8 teams. For the first time in history Alcoyano reached La Liga, first Spanish division, in 1945 by winning Segunda División. In 1947–48, Alcoyano maintained its first division status for the only time in its history, even finishing higher than Real Madrid. That season was the best in Alcoyano's history – the club finished in 10th position in La Liga. The following forty years, however, were spent mainly in the third and fourth divisions, with very brief spells in level two. In the 1953–54 season Alcoyano was relegated to the Tercera División for the first time in its history. In the 1954–55 season the club reached first place in the Group 10 of Tercera División, but failed to promote back to Segunda División…
