[edit] History
Sociedad Deportiva Ponferradina was founded in 1922. It spent the vast majority of its professional years in the fourth and third divisions. In 1967, with the club in the former category, it achieved an historic 6–1 win against top level giants Real Madrid.
On 5 September 2000, El Toralín was inaugurated as the club's new grounds, replacing Fuentesnuevas; the first match there was a friendly against Celta de Vigo. In 2006–07, Ponfe competed for the first time in Segunda División, but would be immediately relegated back, as third from the bottom.
In the 2009–10 season, Ponferradina returned to division two: after winning the regular season with 75 points, it defeated UE Sant Andreu on penalties, in the promotion playoffs (after winning and losing 1–0 over the two legs); subsequently, the club appeared in the league final, losing to Granada CF 0–1 on aggregate.
