History

edit

Founded in 1949,[1] Benigànim started playing in the Regional Preferente in the 1980s, and managed to remain in the division for nearly three decades. In June 2014, the club achieved a first-ever promotion to Tercera División.[2]

In July 2019, after another promotion to the fourth division, Benigànim reached an agreement with Soccer Inter-Action (SIA) to manage the club.[3] In July 2023, after suffering two consecutive relegations, SIA left the club to start a project with UD Alzira as their reserve team, and Benigànim was subsequently dissolved.[4] In the meantime, Benigànim CF (founded in 2020) became the main club of the city.
