OUR OPPONENTS

CD Betis Florida was founded in 1928 by an Andalusian immigrant who has settled in the neighbourhood of La Florida on the western outskirts of the city of Alicante.

In the 1940s, it competed in the Segunda Regional of the Murcian Football Federation but remained outside competitive football in the region for the next few decades as it developed itself as a renowned sports club in the city, particularly known for its handball and basketball teams.

In 2003, its senior football team entered the FFCV Segunda Regional, finishing sixth two seasons in a row before finishing top at the end of the 2006-07 season to win promotion to the Primera Regional. The club finished bottom with just five wins in 30 games and were immediately relegated back to the Segunda Regional.

Champions once again at the end of the 2017-18 season, this time Betis Florida would only head in once direction and topped Group 9 in the Primera Regional at the end of the 2020-21 season to win promotion to the Preferente for the first time. They finished bottom of Group 5 the following season, this time managing just 3 wins in 30 games and suffered relegation back to the Primera Regional. In 2023-24 they were allocated to the Segona FFCV in the regional league re-structuring but returned to the second tier at the first attempt last season, topping Group 7 by a single point from CF Intercity “B”.

This season, CD Betis Florida have drawn one and lost two of the first three games and sit in 13th spot with a single point. They lost 4-1 in the opening game to Benferri CF before suffering a narrow 3-4 defeat at home to Catral-Castrum CF, who currently top the table with a 100% record. Last weekend, CD Betis Florida draw 2-2 at home to second place CD Montesinos.
