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, it is the reserve team of Elche CF, and plays in Segunda Federación – Group 5, 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]
