History
Figueres was first founded in 1919. In 1983, the club first reached the national categories, in Segunda División B, and upgraded only three years later, maintaining that status for seven years, and playing once in the promotion playoffs to the first division; after finishing third in the regular season, it eventually lost on aggregate to Cádiz CF.
Figueres spent the next fourteen years consolidated in the third level, only now and then vying for promotion. On 27 June 2007, the principal shareholder transferred the club to Castelldefels due to little support of the public, and the side would eventually disappear.
In August 2007, UE Figueres was refounded by minority shareholders, with the team starting playing will in the lowest division of Spanish football, Tercera Catalana.
