Getafe Club de Futbol, also known as Getafe CF, is a Spanish club based in Getafe, in the suburbs of Madrid, Spain. Getafe was initially founded in 1923 but was re-established in 1983 after the civil war. Since then, the club has gone on to have a strong hold in the Spanish top flight, with occasional relegations. It doesn’t have the global recognition like the two clubs of Madrid - Real & Atletico - but has proved its worth every now and then by giving tough competitions to the top clubs of the league.
The team is known for their humble approach, along with strict defensive organization and undying fighting spirit. Getafe stadium is Coliseum Alfonso Perez, where a lot of important Getafe matches have been played over the years. Under their current manager, Jose Bordalas, the club secured 13th position in the league last season and currently sits 4th in the table after their clinical 2-0 win over Celta Vigo in their opening matchday.

Getafe History & Key Facts

Getafe history is filled with hardships, and this is the story of a club that didn’t give up and made its way all the way to the top. The club was initially named Sociedad Getafe Deportivo when it was founded. However, after the Spanish Civil War, five locals from Getafe, named Enrique Condes Garcia, Aurelio Miranda Olavarria, Antonio Corredor Lozano, Manuel Serrano Vergara, and Miguel Cubero Frances, refounded the club in 1946, and it was named Club Deportivo Getafe. Getafe didn’t have a home stadium at first, so they played their matches in Artilleria. Getafe home ground after Artilleria was San Isidro, where they achieved their promotion to the second division in the 1956/57 season. In 1970, Getafe finally unveiled its very own stadium named Las Margaritas.
In July 1983, Getafe Club de Futbol was officially founded, cutting previous ties with Club Deportivo Pena Getafe. This was the year when a lot of Getafe fans started to visit Madrid to watch their team play, and their club didn’t disappoint them. In 1998, Getafe stadium became Coliseum Alfonso Perez, which was a newly made stadium with a 14,000 seating capacity. After plying their trade in the lower leagues for most of the years, Getafe finally gained promotion to the Spanish top flight in 2004, under manager Quique Sanchez Flores. They stayed up in the first division till the 2014/15 season but faced relegation in the following season. However, under manager Jose Bordalas, they achieved promotion again to the first division by winning against Tenerife in the play-offs. Coincidentally, the last time they gained promotion in 2004 also saw a showdown between these two teams. Getafe history is testament to a team’s resilience, which once again proves that there is nothing as ‘impossible’ in the dictionary of football.

Getafe Rivalries

Getafe has three rivals mainly in the Spanish top flight - Leganes, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid. However, Leganes will not be seen featuring in La Liga this season, as they faced relegation in the previous season. Getafe, Real, and Atletico hail from the same city of Madrid, which fuels the rivalry even more. Both Real and Atletico are bigger in stature than Getafe and have a lot of accolades to their name, but things have taken an ugly turn in some of the matches they played against each other. Getafe home ground, Coliseum Alfonso Perez, was witness to Getafe’s first ever win against the Los Blancos in January 2005, where they clinched the match 2-1, thanks to goals from Vivar Dorado and Sergio Pachon. Three years later, they defeated the Spanish giants at their home turf, where Javier Caquero scored the only goal of the match, which proved to be decisive.
In March 2005, they defeated Real’s neighbours, Atletico, at the Getafe stadium by a scoreline of 2-1. The two teams’ most recent encounter saw Getafe overturn a one-goal deficit, as Mauro Arambarri scored twice in the final minutes of the game to ensure a dramatic 2-1 victory.

Getafe Derbies

Getafe plays its official derbies with Leganes, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid. Among these three clubs, the derby with Leganes is the fiercest. The two clubs are in proximity of just 5 km. The two teams first faced off in October 2000 in the Segunda Division, where Getafe emerged victorious by a scoreline of 1-0. Later in the season, Leganes got their revenge with a 2-1 win in March. Their first ever meeting in the Spanish top flight was in September 2016, where Getafe earned an away victory at the Leganes stadium by a margin of 2-1. This was the first time that the South Madrid derby was played in Spain’s top flight. Getafe fans and Leganes fans are quite passionate about their club because both teams have working-class background and have gone through a lot before making it big in the football world. In a total of 35 matches, Leganes lies just ahead with 13 wins, while Getafe lags behind by just one. There have been 11 draws played, which speaks volumes about both teams’ defensive prowess.

Getafe Trophies & Achievements

Getafe trophies are yet to come by, but they have had some incredible runs in some of the top tournaments. They have achieved promotion to the Spanish top flight on two occasions and have reached the Copa del Rey final twice. They debuted in the UEFA Cup (UEFA Europa League now) in 2007/08 and reached the quarterfinals after defeating Benfica, but lost to Bayern Munich. They again played in the 2010/11 season but were eliminated from the group stage after finishing third. They again played in the 2019/20 season but were eliminated by Inter Milan in the round of 16 stage (one-legged tie due to Covid-19). Getafe trophies are expected to happen in the near future, as the future of the Madrid-based club under Jose Bordalas seems to be in safe hands.

Getafe Fan Following

Getafe fans are small in number but are very loyal towards their club. The club is rooted in their hometown identity, and they carry it as a badge of honour. The Getafe fanbase is known to be modest and passionate, despite being smaller than Spain’s top three clubs. Most of Getafe’s season ticket holders are lifelong supporters who have been supporting the club through thick and thin. The fanbase often takes pride in competing with some of the biggest teams in the world despite having fewer resources. Pena Getafense and Frente Azulon are the two supporter groups who are known to be the most passionate sets of Getafe fans.

Future Goals

Getafe’s future goals would include finishing in the top half of the table, after a disastrous 13th-place finish last season. Although they are known as a mid-table club, they do possess the ability to give a good fight to the big teams. They will look to finish within the top 10 at least in the new season and possibly eye a place in any of the three European competitions.
