History
editThe club was founded in 1965 as Club Estudiantes de Vigo and became a section of the local football club Celta in 1969. Celta Vigo won three national leagues and three national cups between 1977 and 1984 including a double in 1982.[2]
The section was disbanded in 1988, but in 1996 it was refounded in association with CD Bosco.[3] The new team's first seasons were very successful, winning two more leagues and a fourth cup between 1999 and 2001.
In following years, Celta became a mid-lower table team until 2012, when it resigned to play in the top tier due to financial strain,[4] and joined the Liga Femenina 2.
In 2018, the club qualified for the promotion playoffs for the first time since their voluntary relegation, as champions of the Liga Femenina 2 Group A, but could not promote after failing in the last match.
