History
In mid-May 2011, historic club UE Lleida was liquidated due to a €27.2 million debt. Its berth was auctioned and acquired by a entrepreneur from Lleida, Sisco Pujol, who created the new Lleida Esportiu, which started competing in Segunda División B; the club was also scheduled to take part in the 2011–12 Copa del Rey, in place of Unió Esportiva.
Esportiu played its first friendly game on 6 August 2011, with Pobla de Mafumet CF (2–0). On the 21st, the team played its first official match, losing 1–3 against CF Reus Deportiu, with the goal being scored by Javier Ballesteros.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It is true that this man was nothing but an elemental force in motion, directed and rendered more effective by extreme cunning and by a relentless tactical clairvoyance .... Hitler was history in its purest form.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
