History

edit

Founded in 1921, Benicarló first reached the Tercera División in 1965, and played five consecutive seasons in the category before suffering relegation. After fluctuating between Tercera and the Regional Preferente, the club suffered relegation to the Primera Regional in 2010.

In 2012, Benicarló merged with neighbouring CF Sporting Benicarló, regaining their Preferente place.[2] They returned to Tercera División after 29 years in 2020,[3] but immediately suffered relegation.
