History

The team has an interesting history as they were founded by three fans (Antonio Cornejo Dueñas, Santiago Vega García and Basilio Parrado Parrado ) brought together by an advertisement published in a football magazine called 100 yards asking for people to play football for fun. After playing at local parks, decision was taken to join official competition.

After a friendly game against Cádiz Corsarios played on May 14, 1993, which was the first ever football game in Andalusia, they joined the Spanish second division.

In 1999 the team finally promoted to the elite league in Spain, the LNFA, where they have been competing since.
