Club Polideportivo El Ejido 1969 is a Spanish football club based in El Ejido, in the autonomous community of Andalusia. Founded in 1989 under the name of El Ejido Fútbol Sala (was only a futsal club until 2012), it currently plays in División de Honor – Group 2.
History
In 2013, the club absorbed CP Berja and name changed to CD El Ejido 2012.
On 25 June 2016, El Ejido were promoted to Segunda División B after overcoming CD Laredo in the last round of the promotion play-offs.[2] The season in the new category was complicated, but the club managed to remain its place in Segunda División B by finishing 14th among 20 teams.[3]
In the 2018–19 season, the club was relegated to Tercera División by finishing 17th in the Segunda División B, Group 4.[4] In November 2021, the club changed name to Club Polideportivo El Ejido 1969, as an honour to Polideportivo Ejido.
In 2025, Poli El Ejido suffered relegation from Tercera Federación, returning to the regional leagues after 11 years. Initially excluded from the División de Honor,[5] the club was readmitted in the category due to a court order on 30 January 2026,[6] but deemed "impossible" to play all 30 matches of the competition within four months.[7] In February, the Administrative Court of Sport of Andalusia (TADA) – which also granted the club's reintegration earlier – ruled in favor of Poli Ejido for the suspension of their fixture calendar, stating that the Royal Andalusian Football Federation would need to seek a "viable" alternative to comply with the previous resolution.[8]
