Founded in 1940, Europa promoted to Tercera División after 40 years competing, in 1980. During this golden era, with the club participating in 11 of the 13 editions of Tercera División until 1993, the club also played one edition of the Copa del Rey, being eliminated in the first round, despite achieving one draw against regional powerhouse Real Oviedo.[1]
From 2009 to 2012, during the club's decline, Europa had a reserve team that promoted to a higher division than the main team.[2]
