History

edit

Founded in 1971 as Club Deportivo Torre del Mar, the club was renamed to Unión Deportiva Torre del Mar in 1974. After playing several years in the Regional Preferente, the club went into inactivity in 2014, only returning one year later.

After being inactive again in 2016, Torre del Mar returned to action in 2017 under the name of Torre del Mar Fútbol Club, and immediately achieved promotion from the Tercera Andaluza. The club moved back to their previous name, and achieved another three consecutive promotions to reach a national division for the first time in their history.[5]
