History

Founded in 1910 in the city of Cádiz, Andalusia, Cádiz CF is one of the oldest and most symbolic clubs in Spanish football. It experienced its period of greatest prestige in the 1970s and 1980s, when it competed in consecutive seasons in the Primera División and even qualified for European competitions. After a long period in the lower divisions, the club staged a historic return to La Liga in the 2020-21 season, after 14 years of absence, under coach Álvaro Cervera. The campaign surprised all of Spain and reignited the pride of Gaditano fans. Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla, inaugurated in 1955 and modernized over the years, is the heart of the club. The yellow fans are known for the characteristic humor of the people of Cádiz — birthplace of Andalusian Carnival — and for their unwavering loyalty to the club in difficult times. Cádiz CF is an example of resilience in Spanish football, representing a city with a particular soul and a unique football culture in the south of the Iberian Peninsula.
