Wikipedia - Elche CF Ilicitano

Elche Ilicitano Club de Fútbol, known officially as Elche Ilicitano is a Spanish football team based in Elche, in the autonomous community of Valencia. Founded in 1932 as Club Deportivo Ilicitano, a farm team, it is the reserve team of Elche CF, and plays in Tercera Federación – Group 6, holding home games at the Estadio José Díez Iborra, with a capacity of 1,500 seats.

The city of Elche started the 1930s with just over thirty-five thousand inhabitants, who shared interest in football. In April 1932 a new sports initiative arose, when a group of young people founded Club Deportivo Ilicitano (Sportman Club Ilicitano).
