Orihuela

Orihuela Club de Futbol is a Spanish football team based in Orihuela, in the Valencian Community. Founded in 1993 it plays in Segunda Division B – Group 3, holding home games at Estadio Municipal Los Arcos, with a capacity of 7,000 seats.

History

On 4 August 1993, the chairman of Orihuela Juventud y Deportes, Pedro Albarracin, received a notification from the Valencian Community Football Federation, allowing him to change the name of the club to Orihuela Club de Futbol. A few months before, when the youth team of Atletico Orihuela was promoted to Liga Nacional Juvenil de Futbol, the presidents of both clubs, Albarracin and Francisco Polin Gonzalez, agreed on a merge, which created Orihuela Club de Futbol.

The first club home kit was orange shirts and white shorts, as former Orihuela Juventud y Deportes, because the historical Orihuela Deportiva CF (founded in 1944) was still competing. Once the latter disappeared in 1994, Orihuela CF adopted their colours (yellow and blue) and became the most important local team.
