Girona FC are a Spanish football club based in the city of Girona. The team has spent most of its history playing in the lower divisions of Spanish football, but they have recently had a huge rise in success. They play their home matches at the Estadi Montilivi, which has a capacity of around 14,600 people. A major turning point for the club was when they were acquired by the City Football Group in 2017. Since then, they have achieved their first-ever promotion to the top-tier league, La Liga, and even qualified for the prestigious UEFA Champions League. This rapid growth has made them a popular and exciting team to watch, showing that even smaller clubs can compete with the giants of European football.
Girona Futbol Club, S.A.D., were founded on July 23, 1930, in the city of Girona. The club was created to fill the void left by a previous team, Unió Deportiva Gerona, which had dissolved due to financial problems. For most of Girona FC history, they played in the lower divisions of Spanish football, but they have experienced a dramatic rise in recent years. A key moment was their promotion to La Liga, the top Spanish league, for the first time in their history in 2017. While they were relegated a couple of years later, they earned promotion again in 2022. The most significant turning point in the club's history came with the acquisition of a large stake by the City Football Group in 2017, which also owns Manchester City, one of the richest teams in the Premier League. This ownership has provided the financial and strategic backing for the club's recent success.
