Club de Fútbol Atlético Ciudad was a Spanish football club based in Murcia, in the autonomous community of Murcia. Founded in 2007 after the merger of Ciudad de Murcia and EMD Lorquí, it played its last season in Segunda División B (group IV), holding home matches at Estadio Juan de la Cierva, with a 1,600-seat capacity. The club was refounded in 2010 as CAP Ciudad de Murcia.

History

On 6 June 2007, Ciudad de Murcia was acquired by an investor from Granada, transferring to that city and being renamed it Granada 74 CF. As the second division team moved to Granada, the reserve team and the Escuela Municipal Deporte Lorquí (founded in 2003) merged, and CA Ciudad de Lorquí was founded.

On 31 October 2008, the team changed its name to Club de Fútbol Atlético Ciudad. Two years later, on 1 August, it was forced to relegate to Tercera División after not being able to pay a debt of €700,000 euros, which consequently led to the club being dissolved.^[1]^[2]^[3]
