history

The Club Deportiu Reus was founded on November 23, 1909 as the successor to the disbanded Reus Sport Club as a pure football club. The first game was played in Reus in the Velodrome on Calle Sant Joan . In 1913 they moved to the Carretera de Salou stadium .

In 1917 the clubs CF Reus , Club Velocipedista and SC Olímpia merged to form Club de Futbol Reus Deportiu .

A year later, they finally became a member of the Catalan Football Association, which made it possible to host official games.

1923 and 1924 one was champion of the second Catalan league. From 1927 home games could finally be played in the first own stadium on Calle Gaudi . The successful period was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War.

In the years after the civil war and the spread of professional sports, the club repeatedly got into financial difficulties, which led to the fact that in 1951 the football department was split off under the name CF Reus Deportiu . The old club departments continued to operate under the name Reus Deportiu , where the famous roller hockey team also stayed.

In October 1977, the last stadium move to date took place in the current home stadium on Calle Alcover , the Camp Nou Municipal . In the 1981/82 season you became champion of the Tercera División and could move up to the Segunda División B , where you could stay for 2 years until you were relegated in 1983.

After very changeable years and multiple relegation to lower-class leagues, the club reappeared at the end of the 90s, played back in the Tercera División in 1999 and even made it back to the Segunda División B in 2002, where they were immediately relegated . This fate was repeated in the 2005/06 season after a one-year interlude in the Segunda División B.

After that, they just missed promotion again and again, as in the 2006/07 season, where they lost the final of the relegation games against the second team from Betis Sevilla . This qualified them for the Copa del Rey , where they failed in the 2007/08 season in the first round on the CD Dénia . Since the first-round losers of the Copa del Rey are eligible to play in the Copa RFEF , Reus made it into the final there, in which they lost to CD Ourense . From 2011 Reus played again in the Segunda División B.

In 2016, the club was first in its group in Segunda División B and was able to prevail in the play-offs against Racing Santander , which he was promoted to the Segunda División for the first time .

In the 2018/2019 season , there was forced relegation from the second highest division and an exclusion from play for three years. The reason for this was the month-long delay in player salary payments. The first 21 games were played regularly, but all games in the second half of the season were counted 1-0 for the respective opponent. Since the club could not deposit a guarantee required until July 17, 2019, another forced relegation followed shortly thereafter to the fourth division Tercera División . FC Andorra secured the starting place in the third division Segunda División B that was vacated by CF Reus .
