History
editThe origins of the organisation date back to 1996. Albert Valentín, technical secretary of Unió Esportiva Figueres — then established as a Sports Public Limited Company — convinced the board members to create an entity with its own legal personality to manage the club's grassroots football, without depending on the sporting results or possible financial conflicts of the first professional team.[1] On 7 June 1996, Fundació Esportiva Figueres was established as a non-profit organisation, with the aim of promoting children's and youth sport.[2]
