Universidad Católica de Murcia Club de Fútbol is a Spanish football club based in Murcia. Founded in 2009 it plays in Segunda División B, holding home games at Estadio de La Condomina, with a capacity of 16,800 spectators.

History

The club was founded in 2004 as Club de Fútbol Los Garres, making his first appearance in Tercera División in 2008–09 as Murcia Deportivo Club de Fútbol. In 2009 a businessman from Beniaján, Murcia, acquired the club and moved it to his local town; one year later the club relocated again, now to Sangonera la Verde, and, in 2011, UCAM became its new owner.[1] The University had previously a team which played in Tercera División from 2000 to 2005.[2]

At the end of the 2011–12 season, after Orihuela CF suffered relegation from Segunda División B due to irregularities, UCAM Murcia took its place.[3]
