history
Time as an amateur club
The Club Deportivo Leganés was founded on June 26, 1928 by Félix López de la Serna. The first president of the association was Ramón del Hierro. The first game in the club's history was a friendly against La Latina . In the 1956/57 season, CD Leganés reached the Tercera División for the first time after many years against teams from the region . By 1977/78, after more than 20 years in the Tercera División, Leganés rose again. After the third season in a row on a promotion place CD Leganés rose in 1986/87 for the first time in the Segunda División B on.
Segunda División
In the 1992/93 season, Club Deportivo Leganés was first in its group of Segunda División B. The playoffs against FC Elche and Deportivo Xerez were also won.
In the first season in Spain's second division, the club managed to stay 15th in the league, but in the second season CD Leganés was relegated as the penultimate. The financial collapse at the Catalan table seventeenth FC Palamós kept the team in the league. In 1997/98 the new stadium, the Estadio de Butarque , with a capacity of around 8,000 seats was inaugurated. After ten years in which Leganés was second class, they rose in 2002/03 as fourth from bottom (19th place) in the Segunda División B. But again Leganés was saved by the financial problems of a competitor. The Galician club SD Compostela was relegated for insolvency and Leganés held the class.
2003/04 season
In the summer of 2003 a lot happened at the Madrilenians. The Argentine businessman Daniel Grinbank bought the club and hired his compatriot José Pekerman as the sports director. Coach Carlos Aimar was also an Argentinian. Furthermore, 14 Argentine players were committed, which led to criticism from their own supporters. Angry, Grinbank left the club at the halfway point of the season, followed by the coach and some Argentine players who were paid by him. At least José Pekerman wanted to pull the cart out of the dirt again, but was not allowed to take over the coaching position due to a lack of experience (the Spanish Football Association stipulates three years of experience as a club coach) and had to leave as well.
The 3rd division
From 2004 CD Leganés played in Segunda División B, Group 1. Immediately after the relegation season, Leganés missed the play-offs for promotion, level on points with fourth-placed Alcalá. But the club president Jesús Polo, who came after the "Argentina disaster", left the club, so that he was constantly in a relegation battle in the following years. The club hit the headlines in January 2009 when the club's players knelt on the ground for 90 seconds during the Real Madrid Castilla game . This symbolized a strike as they hadn't been paid for four months. Real didn't use this opportunity to score a goal. The game ended 2-1 for Leganés.
By 2013 CD Leganés reached the play-offs for promotion to the Segunda División three times (2008/09, 4th place; 2010/11, 4th place; 2012/13, 2nd place), but failed each time.
Back in the 2nd division
In 2014, CD Leganés rose again to the Segunda División after ten years .
First promotion to the 1st division
On June 4, 2016, CD Leganés rose to the Primera División for the first time on the last match day, after two years in the Segunda División , with a 1-0 win at CD Mirandés . In the first year, when he was seventeenth, he was relegated. With the same position in the following year and a 13th place in the 2018/19 season, Leganés was able to establish itself in the top Spanish division.
Stadion
Leganés plays in the Estadio de Butarque , which has a capacity of 11,454 spectators.
