History

edit

UDA Gramenet was founded in 1945, through the merger of three teams from Santa Coloma de Gramenet: FC Gramenet, UD Colomense and CF Baleares. The club first reached the national categories in 1956, and first promoted to the third division 37 years later.[1]

Gramenet finished three times in the top three in its first four seasons, but successively underachieved in the playoffs, against Real Jaén, Ourense and Sestao Sport Club (1993–94), Deportivo Alavés, Jaén and Las Palmas (1994–95) and Jaén, Lemona and Ourense (1996–97). In 1996 the club merged with C.D. Milán, who later became Gramenet B.

In the 2004–05 season, still in the third division, Gramenet could only place 16th in the league, but reached the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey after ousting FC Barcelona, Levante and Lleida,[2] only being downed by Real Betis (2–2 at home, 3–4 away) who later went on to win the tournament.[3] In the following years the club would only participate once in the promotion playoffs, losing 3–6 on aggregate to Salamanca in 2006.[4]

In 2014, the club was forced by the city hall to leave the Nou Camp Municipal in Santa Coloma de Gramenet and since the 2014–15 season, Gramenet plays its games at Sant Adrià de Besòs.
