Football club
Elche Ilicitano Club de Fútbol , known officially as Elche Ilicitano is a Spanish football team based in Elche , in the autonomous community of Valencia . Founded in 1932 as Club Deportivo Ilicitano, a farm team , it is the reserve team of Elche CF , and plays in Tercera División – Group 6 , holding home games at the Ciutat Esportiva Juan Ángel Romero , with a capacity of 1,500 seats.[3]
Unlike in England , reserve teams in Spain play in the same football pyramid as their senior team rather than a separate league.
History
The city of Elche started the 1930s with just over thirty-five thousand inhabitants, who shared interest in football. In April 1932 a new sports initiative arose, when a group of young people founded Club Deportivo Ilicitano (Sportman Club Ilicitano).[4]
