[edit] History
The history of football in Ferrol is associated to the shipbuilding yards, workshops, foundries and dry docks and the British technical advisors, hired to work locally who used to play against existing teams. During the late 1800s and early 1900s there were different football teams organized in Ferrol, though only one of them has survived, and as a result of an amalgamation of some other previous teams. Racing Ferrol Football Club traces its origins back to June 1919, when the final team as it stands today was finally established. These days plays in the Spanish Segunda División.
In the season 2006/07 they gained promotion to Segunda División in the Segunda División Play-Off 2006/07 with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Alicante.
