FC Cartagena

Fútbol Club Cartagena is a Spanish football team based in Cartagena, in the autonomous community of Murcia. Founded in 1995, it currently plays in the second division, holding home games at Estadio Cartagonova, with a capacity of 15,105 spectators.

History

Fútbol Club Cartagena was founded in 1995. In the first eight years, it was known as Cartagonova Fútbol Club, and first played in the third division in 1998–99.

Being saved from folding by local entrepreneur Francisco Gómez Hernández after 2002–03, the club consolidated itself in level three, and achieved another promotion in the 2008–09 season.

Historic side Cartagena FC, which was founded much earlier, acted as reserve team between 2003–09, eventually re-gaining its independence. In 2009–10's second division campaign, Efesé nearly achieved another promotion, finishing eventually in fifth position; all promotion hopes were dashed in the 41st matchday, with a 1–0 away loss against Recreativo de Huelva.
