History

edit

El Olivo earned promotion in May 2011 after topping Segunda División's Group 1[2] and overcoming UD Tacuense and Girona FC in the play-offs, becoming the first team from Galicia to play in Superliga/Primera since the category's unification in 2001.[3] The team was subsequently relegated as it was second to last in its debut season.[4]

On 7 July 2017, despite avoiding the relegation from the Segunda División, the club was sanctioned and relegated due to an illegal alignment of a player during the whole season.[5]

In August 2018, El Olivo announced the dissolution of the football section.[6]
