Club Esportiu Atlètic Lleida is a Spanish football team based in Lleida, in the autonomous community of Catalonia. Founded on 22 June 2019, they play in Tercera Federación – Group 5, holding home games at Camp de Futbol Municipal Ramón Farrús, with a capacity of 1,200 people.

History

[edit]

Founded on 25 September 1926[4] as Club Deportivo Almacellench, the club were later renamed to Club de Fútbol Almacelles and later Athlètic Almacelles in 1968 (Athletic would later be refounded in 2014).[5] In 1986, they changed name to Club Esportiu Escola de Futbol Almacelles i Comarca.

After being only an amateur team, EFAC Almacelles started playing in a senior competition in 1988, winning promotion from the Tercera Regional. They first reached the top tier of regional football, the Primera Catalana, in 2011.

After playing the following years between Primera and Segona Catalana, EFAC reached an agreement with Club Esportiu Atlètic Lleida (a club founded on 22 June 2019)[6] in late June 2019, with the latter taking over their place in the fifth tier from the 2020–21 season onwards.[7] The name of "Esportiu Atlètic Lleida" was contested by the president of Lleida Esportiu at the time, Albert Esteve, by considering that the new brand could "generate confusion".[8]

In March 2024, Diari Segre reported that Atlètic Lleida were under negotiations with CF Badalona Futur to acquire their place in either the Segunda Federación or Primera Federación, with their president Josep María Oromí stating that the negotiations were in an "advanced" stage.[9]

In June 2024, the team achieved promotion to the Tercera Federación, entering the national Spanish football league system, so the team will compete in that division starting in the 2024–25 season.[10] After being promoted the Atlètic Lleida board decided to withdraw from the Badalona Futur purchase negotiations, they argued that the existence of two teams from Lleida competing in the Segunda Federación would mean a sporting conflict that Atlètic wanted to avoid, in addition to seeking to strengthen their own project.[11]
