**Elche Ilicitano Club de Fútbol**, known officially as **Elche Ilicitano** is a [Spanish football team](/source/List_of_football_clubs_in_Spain) based in [Elche](/source/Elche), in the autonomous community of [Valencia](/source/Valencian_Community). Founded in 1932 as Club Deportivo Ilicitano, it is the [reserve team](/source/Reserve_team) of [Elche](/source/Elche_CF), and plays in [Segunda Federación](/source/Segunda_Federaci%C3%B3n) – Group 3, holding home games at the [Estadio José Díez Iborra](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ciutat_Esportiva_Juan_%C3%81ngel_Romero&action=edit&redlink=1), with a capacity of 1,500 seats.[3]

Unlike in nations such as [England](/source/English_football_league_system), reserve teams in [Spain](/source/Spanish_football_league_system) play in the same football pyramid as their senior team rather than a separate league.

## History

The city of Elche started the 1930s with just over thirty-five thousand inhabitants, who shared interest in football. In April 1932 a new sports initiative arose, when a group of young people founded Club Deportivo Ilicitano (Sportman Club Ilicitano).[4]
