CE Europa

Origins

Club Esportiu Europa (originally Club Deportiu Europa) is historically recorded as founded on June 5, 1907. Later, two modest clubs in the city, Oriental FC and Madrid de Barcelona FC decided to merge with the already existing CD Europa, adopting its name and league spot.

This situation did not last long, as the club achieved promotion in 1917–18 and 1918–19, reaching the first division of Catalan football.

1920s: The golden decade

During the 1920s, Europa would live its most glorious years, turning de facto into the second strongest club in Catalonia, under FC Barcelona and above RCD Espanyol. In both 1920–21 and 1921–22, the club finished as runner-up in the Catalan Championship before winning the title in 1922–23 under the English coach Ralph Kirby. After finishing level on points with FC Barcelona, they then beat them 1–0 in a tiebreaker in the Camp de Vista Alegre,…
