Lleida Esportiu — football club from Lleida, Catalonia

History and foundation

The club was created in summer 2011 in response to the financial collapse and liquidation of the long-standing local side. Lleida Esportiu inherited a local fan base and the city’s footballing traditions, while establishing a new administrative and sporting structure intended to ensure greater stability. From its first seasons the club set out to consolidate itself in the national leagues and maintain a visible presence for football in the city.

Lleida Esportiu plays home matches at the Camp d'Esports, a historic municipal ground with an approximate capacity of 13,500 spectators. The team’s colours and crest reflect the city’s traditional palette, with combinations of white and blue commonly used on kits and merchandise. Club identity emphasizes local ties, youth development and community involvement.

Lleida Esportiu has taken part in national cup competitions and has contested promotion stages when aiming to rise to higher divisions. On the regional level the club maintains rivalries and regular fixtures against other Catalan sides.
