Cádiz Club de Fútbol, S.A.D. is a Spanish professional football club based in Cádiz, Andalusia.
Founded in 1910, the club competes in Segunda División, holding home games at Nuevo Mirandilla, with a seating capacity of 20,724.
Salvadoran legend Mágico González played for the club during the 1980s and the early 1990s, and is widely recognized as the best player to ever play for the team.
Between 1929 and 1977, Cádiz played in either the second or third tier of Spanish football. In 1977, Cádiz achieved promotion to La Liga for the first time. Since then Cádiz has played sixteen seasons in the first tier, as well as spending several at the second level.
History
The first documented game of Cádiz CF was played against Cádiz Sporting Club on Thursday, 8 September 1910. Cádiz CF won it 1–0. Two days later on 10 September 1910, several Cádiz citizens appealed to the Civil Government to register a club under the name Cádiz Foot-Ball Club.
Cádiz played the first complete season 1939–40 in Segunda División after the Spanish Civil War. The club finished 1st in the Group 5 with 11 wins in 14 games. That season the coach position was occupied by Santiago Núñez, who was also a player, and the key roles were played by Roldán, Díaz, Mateo, the goalkeeper Bueno, future Real Madrid player, and Camilo Liz, who decades later became the technical secretary of the club. They beat Sevilla (led by coach Miguel Muñoz) 1–0 with the goal scored by Dieguito. Among them there were such important players in Cádiz history as Bocoya, Juan José, Hugo Vaca, Dos Santos, Amarillo, Luque, Linares, Pepe Mejías, Dieguito (Escobar), López (Choquet) and Mané.
However, Cádiz was eventually relegated back to the second tier, in the 37th and penultimate matchday of 2005–06. Cádiz finished in the 19th position, 4 points away from 16th place, which could secure the club a place in La Liga. For the following campaign, former Spanish international Oli took the reins of the team, being sacked after only a few months. With him the club won just 4 from 11 matches.
In June 2008, Cádiz dropped another level returning to the Segunda División B. However, after just one season, it managed to return to the second division, but was immediately relegated in the 2009–10 campaign. Cádiz finished in 19th place, falling just one point behind the teams in 17th and 18th positions, which guaranteed them a place in the Segunda División. Performance of such experienced players as Raúl López, Andrés Fleurquin and Enrique Ortiz was the major asset to the successful 2008–09 season.
During the 2015–16 the club finished its season in Group 4 in 4th place and qualified for the promotion playoffs, they beat Racing Ferrol, Racing Santander and Hércules and therefore promoted back to Segunda División after 6 years. The key match against Hércules took place on 26 June 2016, at the Ramón de Carranza stadium. Cádiz won it 1–0.
In the beginning of the 2019–20 season, Cádiz repeated its best start record as per first ten league games of a single season. This record dates 80 years back to the 1939–1940 season. Head coach Álvaro Cervera admitted the good start of the season and said:
On 28 December 2019, Manuel Vizcaíno Fernández was appointed as chairman of the board of directors for the next six years, along with the directors Jorge Cobo and Martín José García Marichal.
On 2 March 2020, Cádiz CF confirmed that an unnamed American investor of great economic strength became one of the club's shareholders. Despite acquiring a minority of shares, the investor's goal is expanding his presence in the club and helping the Andalusian club with the promotion to La Liga. The president of the club Manuel Vizcaíno revealed the plans of using new resources to modernize the infrastructure, facilities and other areas of the club.
On 12 July 2020, Cádiz CF was promoted back to the Primera División after 14 years. On 20 September 2020 Cádiz won its first La Liga match (2:0 away win over Huesca) since the previous campaign in the league. On 5 December, Cádiz CF won a home game for the first time in the season, setting another historic moment in the process: in fact, goals by Álvaro Giménez and Álvaro Negredo secured a 2–1 final result against Barcelona. Plus, on 21 February 2021, they managed to block Barcelona once again, as the match ended up in a 1–1 draw: a penalty by substitute Álex Fernández equalized the initial opener by Lionel Messi (also from the penalty spot).
On 4 April 2021 in a league game Mouctar Diakhaby of Valencia denounced an alleged racist aggression by Cádiz defender Juan Cala. The game was briefly halted after Valencia players walked off the pitch. The tests carried out by LaLiga and the RFEF found no evidence for the complaint, so the judge declared Juan Cala innocent.
On 2 May 2021, Cádiz won 1–0 at Granada in Los Cármenes. With 40 points in the standings, Cádiz CF mathematically achieved survival in LaLiga Santander.
On 19 May 2024, Cádiz was relegated to second division after a 0–0 draw against Las Palmas, ending their four-year stay in the top tier.
In June 2024, Cádiz CF had 13.1 million followers on social media, making it one of the most-followed sports clubs in Spain.
Culture
Supporters
Cádiz CF's supporter base has a well-documented history of left-wing political identity, though it is not monolithic. The most prominent organised fan group is the Brigadas Amarillas (Yellow Brigades), founded in the early 1980s. The group originated as a young anti-fascist collective called Frente Cadiz, which renamed itself Barra Ultra before settling on Brigadas Amarillas in 1982, partly to distance itself from the term "ultra," which carried right-wing connotations in Spain at the time. A founding member named Guillermo, interviewed by the authors in 2005, described anti-fascism as central to the group's collective identity. Academics noted that solidarity among left-wing fan groups in Spanish football is built around three common causes: opposition to neo-fascism, opposition to racism, and opposition to the commercialisation of football.
The Brigadas have also engaged in formal anti-racism partnership work. From 2004 onwards, they collaborated with the NGO Colectivo de Prevención e Inserción Social Andalucía (CEPA) on initiatives including a 2006 project called "Cádiz against racism," which sought to promote intercultural awareness among supporters and local residents. CEPA representatives, interviewed in 2005, described left-wing fan groups as the most proactive partners in anti-racism work, while acknowledging that some of their methods involved violence. The Brigadas also participated in European anti-racism networks, including Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) action weeks and the Mondiali Antirazzisti tournament in Italy.
Academic research has noted internal tensions within the group regarding the use of violence. Members of the Vieja Guardia (old guard) tended to view violence as necessary and effective, while younger or reform-minded members questioned this. One member named Pedro (identified as being in his late thirties in 2005) acknowledged that some individuals "have been using violence for the sake of violence," and described a personal shift toward grassroots education and awareness activities. Another member, José, described the group's internal structure as deliberately non-hierarchical and "anarchist" in character, with horizontal relationships among members.
