[edit] History

Fútbol Club Cartagena was founded in 1995. In the first eight years, it was known as Cartagonova Fútbol Club, and first played in the third division in 1998-99.

Being saved from folding by local entrepreneur Francisco Gómez Hernández after 2002-03, the club consolidated itself in the third level, and achieved another promotion in 2008-09.

Historic side Cartagena FC, which was founded much earlier 1919, was a subsidiary or reserve team during a few years, but re-gained its independence in 2009-10.
