**Lorca Deportiva Club de Fútbol, S.A.D.** was a [Spanish football club](/source/List_of_football_clubs_in_Spain) in [Lorca](/source/Lorca%2C_Spain), in the autonomous community of [Murcia](/source/Region_of_Murcia). Founded in 2002 it was dissolved ten years later, they held their home matches at *[Estadio Francisco Artés Carrasco](/source/Estadio_Francisco_Art%C3%A9s_Carrasco)*, which seats 8,064. The roots of the club can be traced back to the Sociedad Lorca Football Club, founded in 1901 by Newcastle-born Manuel José (Manni) Pelegrín Dunn, whose father was originally from Lorca.[1] The [CF Lorca Deportiva](/source/CF_Lorca_Deportiva) became the successor club and is followed by the same fan-base.

## History

Lorca Deportiva was founded in 2002, right after the defunction of [Lorca Club de Fútbol](/source/Lorca_CF) which had been born eight years earlier. The new club started in the [fourth division](/source/Tercera_Divisi%C3%B3n) after acquiring the place of [CD Balsicas](/source/CD_Balsicas), and was promoted to the [third level](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B) at the first attempt.

As [rookies](/source/Rookie) in the third tier, Lorca [qualified for the play-offs after occupying the second place in the regular season](/source/2003%E2%80%9304_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B). [Next season](/source/2004%E2%80%9305_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B) the team finished fourth, but this time managed to promote to the [division two](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n): with [Unai Emery](/source/Unai_Emery) – who later managed [Paris Saint-Germain](/source/Paris_Saint-Germain), [Arsenal F.C.](/source/Arsenal_F.C.) and [Aston Villa](/source/Aston_Villa) – in the position of [manager](/source/Coach_(sport)), it [narrowly missed](/source/2005%E2%80%9306_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n) on a new promotion, finishing just five points behind last [La Liga](/source/La_Liga) promotee [Levante UD](/source/Levante_UD).

After Emery's departure, with many first-team players also leaving, Lorca was [relegated the following campaign](/source/2006%E2%80%9307_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n). In the middle of 2009, although it had just [finished second in its group](/source/2008%E2%80%9309_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B), economic issues led to another drop, to the fourth division.

For the [2010–11 season](/source/2010%E2%80%9311_Tercera_Divisi%C3%B3n), the club was relocated to nearby Totana and renamed LD Olímpico.[2][3] On 18 October 2010, amidst serious economic problems, it retired from competition and folded, without chairman or players –[4][5] all 93 points that the team would lose for not showing up in the remaining 31 fixtures of the season were equally distributed by their opponents,[6] and Lorca was finally dissolved in 2012.
