Enciclopedia del Fútbol Español |url=http://lafutbolteca.com/club-esportiu-constancia/ |access-date=5 June 2024 |language=es-ES}}</ref>
=== Beginnings of football in Inca === The first football team in [[Inca, Spain|Inca]] was FC Inca (1910), the football section of the recreation organisation ''Centro Recreativo'' in the same city, but this stop ceased its activity a few months after its creation.{{Sfn|García Gargallo|2023|p=5}} Inca was left without a football club during many years, something that only changed in 1921 with the creation of FC Inquense, related to the same recreation organisation.{{Sfn|García Gargallo|2023|p=8}}
=== Foundation of CE Constància (1922) === Club Esportiu Constància was founded on 2 December 1922 as the football section of the [[Industrial and provident society|provident society]] with the same name.<ref name="Gran Enciclopèdia">{{Cite book |last=Dolç |first=Miquel |title=Gran Enciclopèdia de Mallorca, tom III |date=1989 |publisher=Promallorca edicions |isbn=84-86-617-02-2 |location=Palma |pages=317–8 |language=ca |trans-title=Big Encyclopedia of Mallorca, part III}}</ref> Initially, there existed a rivalry between Constància and Inquense, but when the former outgrew the latter, Inquense was dissolved and many of its players joined Constància.{{Sfn|García Gargallo|2023|p=9}}
In 1924, Constància made its debut in the [[Mallorcan Championship]], where the club obtained much influence in the footballing panorama of [[Mallorca]]. Meanwhile, Constància developed as a club with a working-class base, given that Inca used to be a town with a high number of factories.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Capellà |first=Llorenç |title=L'esport a les Balears (1936–1959) |date=1995 |publisher=Council of Culture, Education, and Sport (Balearic Government) |isbn=84-86617-27-8 |location=Palma |pages=76–79 |language=ca |trans-title=Sport on the Balearic Islands (1936-1959)}}</ref> Moreover, the club became a symbol of football in the [[Part Forana]] (the parts of [[Mallorca]] outside of [[Palma de Mallorca|Palma]]), being the most potent football club outside of the capital.{{Sfn|García Gargallo|2023|p=11}}
=== The 1930s. Development, titles, and war === During the 1930s, Constància was already the main competitor of [[RCD Mallorca|Alfons XIII]] (the current RCD Mallorca), which fueled their rivalry, accentuated by the socioeconomic and political differences between the supporters of Alfons XIII and Constància. In the same decade, Constància won the [[Mallorcan Championship]] on three consecutive occasions (1933, 1934, and 1935), while being crowned champion of the [[Balearic Islands]] on one occasion (1935).
The outbreak of the [[Spanish Civil War]] in 1936 had a significant influence on the club's development. According to recent investigations, Constància was one of the most retaliated football clubs in Spain, and four of its players were executed by the [[Nationalist faction (Spanish Civil War)|Francoist troops]].{{Sfn|García Gargallo|2023|p=13}} During the war, the competities continued, and Constància won the Mallorcan Championship for the fourth time in 1939.
=== The 1940s. Promotion to the second tier and almost to the first one === After the end of the Civil War in 1939, the Spanish football competitions were restructured, and Constància was selected to play in the [[Segunda División]] because of its championship the season before. In [[1939–40 Segunda División|1939–40]], the club was relegated, but returned for the [[1941–42 Segunda División|1941–42 season]].{{Sfn|García Gargallo|2023|p=14}} Constància maintained the category for four consecutive seasons, of which [[1943–44 Segunda División|1943–44]] stood out, as the club finished third and almost achieved promotion to [[La Liga]].{{Sfn|García Gargallo|2023|p=15}} [[1944–45 Segunda División|The following season]], Constància played the final match of the regular season against [[RCD Mallorca|CD Mallorca]] with both teams close to the relegation zone, and the match ended in favor of Mallorca after many controversial decisions by referee [[Agustí Cruellas]], remembered in [[Inca, Spain|Inca]] for decades, after which Constància had to participate in the relegation play-off. The club lost and got relegated to the [[Tercera División]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Oca |first=Carlos Montes de |date=14 May 2013 |title=68 años después de Cruellas |url=https://www.ultimahora.es/deportes/deporte-balear/2013/05/14/98956/anos-despues-cruellas.html |access-date=5 June 2024 |website=Ultima Hora |language=es}}</ref>
=== The 1950s. Hitting rock bottom === After the relegation to the Tercera División in 1945, Constància was not able to return to the second tier quickly and even had to temporarily cease its activity after a severe institutional and economic crisis. The club was relegated to the regional categories, but recovered the third division some years later.{{Sfn|García Gargallo|2023|p=15}} === The 1960s. Last years in the Segunda División === After a strong season, Constància achieved promotion to the [[Segunda División]] for the third time in 1962. Despite players more consecutive seasons in the second division than during the 1940s, the six seasons between 1962 and 1968 consisted of more disappointing classifications. The [[1967–68 Segunda División|1967–68 season]] would be the last one of the 11 seasons that Constància has played in the second tier.{{Sfn|García Gargallo|2023|p=15}} Another highlight of this decade, concretely on 29 August 1965, was the opening of the ''[[Nou Camp d'Inca]]'' stadium.{{Sfn|Quetglas Martorell|2022|p=17}}
=== Rest of the 20th century. Going down and consolidation in the Tercera División === The 1968 relegation caused a new crisis at the club, which ended in another successive relegation, this time to the regional amateur competitions. Constància needed five years to go back up to the [[Tercera División]], a competition that it has rarely escaped since.
Moreover, the rivalry between Constància and [[RCD Mallorca]] was lost after the 1960s because of the lack of direct confrontations and the geographical distance between [[Palma de Mallorca|Palma]] and [[Inca, Spain|Inca]].
During the rest of the 20th century, Constància only played in the Tercera División, except for one season in the [[Segunda División B]] ([[1987–88 Segunda División B|1987–88]]) and two seasons in the [[Regional Preferente de Mallorca|Regional Preferente]] (1990–92).
=== 21st century. A new promotion and the centenary === The dynamics of the last decades of the 20th century did not change during the first decades of the 21st century. Constància has almost only played in the [[Tercera División]] (until 2021) and the replacing [[Tercera Federación]] (after 2021), except for two seasons in the [[Segunda División B]] ([[2012–13 Segunda División B|2012–13]] and [[2013–14 Segunda División B|2013–14]]), its last seasons outside of the current fifth tier of [[Spanish football league system|Spanish football]].{{Sfn|García Gargallo|2023|p=16}}
In 2022, the year of the celebrations of the club's centenary, Constància was awarded the [[Medal of Honour and Gratitude of the Island of Mallorca]] by the [[Insular Council of Mallorca]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Procés participatiu: Honors i distincions |url=https://web.conselldemallorca.es/proces-participatiu-honors-i-distincions |access-date=5 June 2024 |website=web |language=ca-ES}}</ref> Moreover, the club designed a commemorative crest and shirt for its centenary.<ref>{{Cite web |title=El CE Constància presenta l'escut del centenari |url=https://www.webdelclub.com/web/Noticia.aspx?vweb=wconstancia&id=3720C6009D8C5443 |access-date=5 June 2024 |website=Club Esportiu Constància |language=ca}}</ref>
