History

Balonmano Cantabria was founded in 1975 when bought the seat of CB La Salle Authi from Los Corrales de Buelna. ^[2] La Salle Authi was for a long time sponsored by Authi. From 1972–73 season to 1974–75 season, La Salle Authi played in Primera División (2nd tier). ^[3] In 1975, the industrial company based in Santander, Teka, bought the team's seat and relocated it to Santander from Los Corrales de Buelna. The team was renamed more later as G.D. Teka.

In the 2007-08 season they survived relegation with a last minute goal by Bo Spellerberg in a match against Ademar León. ^[4] In August 2008 it was announced that the club has lost their place in the Liga ASOBAL after not delivering on the promises made to the Spanish Handball Federation and Liga ASOBAL. ^[1]
