Costa Brava

Unio Esportiva Costa Brava S.A.E. is a Spanish football team based in Palamos, Girona, in the Autonomous Community of Catalonia. Founded in 1947, it currently plays in Primera Division RFEF – Group 2. Its home stadium was Estadi Palamos Costa Brava, with a capacity for 3,724 spectators.

The club was based in Llagostera until 2021. The city is the smallest town ever to have a team in one of the two professional football divisions in Spain.

History

Leandro Calm, the mayor of the city, founded the club as Union Deportiva Llagostera on 13 November 1947. He also became its first president. Llagostera spent most of its history in the Catalan regional leagues, promoting to Tercera Division for the first time ahead of the 2009–10 season. In only its second season at that level, the club won its group before defeating CCD Cerceda 3–0 on aggregate in the promotion play-offs.

In 2011–12, its first season in Segunda Division B, Llagostera finished only one point out of the play-offs, instead qualifying for the next season's Copa del Rey, where it reached the last 32 before a 5–1 aggregate loss to giants Valencia CF.
