[edit] History

Formed by the merger of Deportivo Gallo and Unión Deportiva Eibarresa, the club was originally known as Eibar Fútbol Club, before changing to the current name. Originally an irregular team, it wasn't until the 1943-44 season that Eibar were reorganised into a more full-time unit. Promoted to the fourth level in 1950, it achieved promotion to the upper division three seasons later, being relegated again after a five-season stint, starting a period of fluctuation between the second and fourth divisions.

The club was relegated to the third level at the end of 2005-06. However, it won Segunda División B Group IV in the immediate season and, during the promotion play-offs, won the semi-final tie against CE L'Hospitalet 2-0, beating Rayo Vallecano 2-1 on aggregate in the finals, returning after just a one-year absence.

[edit] Honours

Promotion to the Third Division in 1950.
Promotion to the Second Division in 1987-88.
