OUR OPPONENTS

CD Almoradí represent the town of Almoradí in the heart of the Vega Baja del Segura and is located some 37 kilometres south-west of the city of Alicante.

Almoradí CF was formed in 1953 and played its formative seasons under the jurisdiction of the Murcian Football Federation. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the club competed in Group 10 of the Tercera División, which was then step 3 in the national football pyramid in Spain. At the end of the 1958-59 season, it finished 7th with 30 points from 30 games, the club’s highest position in its history.

In 1961, the club changed its name to CD Almoradí. At the end of the 1962-63 season, it finished bottom of Group 10 and suffered relegation back into the regional leagues before returning to the Tercera División after a major restructuring which created a new Group 13 (Federación de Murcia) which was Step 4 in the national pyramid. After just two seasons, it dropped back into regional football again, returning briefly for one season (1987-88).

By the late 80s, CD Almoradí was playing its regional football organised by the Valencian Football Federation. At the end of the 1994-95 season, the club finished second in Group Sur of the Regional Preferente to win promotion to the Tercera División again, joining Group 6 (Federación Valenciana) but lasted just two seasons before falling through the Regional Preferente to the Primera Regional. A championship season in 2000-01 started a yo-yo existence between Tier 1 and Tier 2 of regional football until its final appearance in the Tercera División in 2016-17 when it finished second from bottom to suffer an immediate return to the lower leagues.

After a slow start to the season when the club struggled to escape the bottom four, CD Almoradí have put in a carved out a series of consistent runs which have lifted them up the table and at one point they were sitting proudly in second spot after claiming seven wins in eight games, including a 3-1 win in Jávea, their first away win. Their latest form has been a little more mixed but the club is still in which a slim chance of snatching the promotion play-off spot.

The biggest victory for CD Jávea was in March 1999, a 4-1 victory in a season in which the ‘rojiblancos’ completed the first of only two ‘doubles’ over CD Almoradí, winning the away match 2-0 earlier in the season.
