Elche Ilicitano Club de Fútbol, known officially as Elche Ilicitano is a Spanish football team based in Elche, in the autonomous community of Valencia. Founded in 1932 as Club Deportivo Ilicitano, a farm team, it is the reserve team of Elche CF, and plays in Segunda Federación – Group 3, holding home games at the Estadio José Díez Iborra, with a capacity of 1,500 seats.[3]

Unlike in nations such as England, reserve teams in Spain play in the same football pyramid as their senior team rather than a separate league.

History

The city of Elche started the 1930s with just over thirty-five thousand inhabitants, who shared interest in football. In April 1932 a new sports initiative arose, when a group of young people founded Club Deportivo Ilicitano (Sportman Club Ilicitano).[4]
