History

Founded in 2016 under the name of Club de Fútbol Calvari Benidorm as an honour to dissolved Benidorm CF,[4] the club started playing in the Segunda Regional in the following year, winning promotion as champions. In July 2019, after another promotion, the club reached an agreement with CD Polop to become their reserve team.[5]

On 6 July 2020, it was announced that Calvari would be renamed to Club de Fútbol Benidorm, but would be registered as Racing Club de Fútbol Benidorm in the Valencian Community Football Federation.[6] On 25 March 2023, the club was bought by DV7 Group, owned by David Villa and Víctor Oñate.[7]

On 29 April 2024, Benidorm achieved a first-ever promotion to Tercera Federación with two rounds to go.[8]

Supporters

As of the 2023-24 season, the average attendance for matches at the Estadio Municipal Guillermo Amor was around 2,000 spectators.[9] The club has a notable British following, driven by Benidorm’s large expatriate community and its long-standing popularity with British tourists.[10]
