## History

Sociedad Deportiva Ponferradina was founded in 1922. The first idea of the executive committee to arrange a stadium was to build it inside the castle of [Ponferrada](/source/Ponferrada), which was eight centuries old. King [Alfonso XIII](/source/Alfonso_XIII_of_Spain) denied the building permit, which led to the construction of *Santa Marta*; the opening match was played 8 September 1923, a [friendly](/source/Exhibition_game) against [Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa](/source/Cultural_y_Deportiva_Leonesa).

Ponferradina spent the vast majority of its professional years in the [fourth](/source/Tercera_Divisi%C3%B3n) and [third divisions](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B). In 1967, with the club in the former category, it achieved an historic 6–1 win against [La Liga](/source/La_Liga) giants [Real Madrid](/source/Real_Madrid_C.F.). Eight years later, due to financial difficulties, Santa Marta was sold, and the team relocated to *Fuentesnuevas*.

On 5 September 2000 *[El Toralín](/source/Estadio_El_Toral%C3%ADn)* was inaugurated as the club's new grounds: the first game there was a friendly with [Celta de Vigo](/source/Celta_de_Vigo). In [2006–07](/source/2006%E2%80%9307_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n) *Ponfe* competed for the first time in the [second level](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n) after knocking out [Universidad Las Palmas](/source/Universidad_de_Las_Palmas_CF) and [Alicante](/source/Alicante_CF) in the [promotion play-offs](/source/2006_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B_play-offs),[2] but would be immediately relegated back as third from the bottom.

In the [2009–10 season](/source/2009%E2%80%9310_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B), Ponferradina returned to division two: after winning the regular season with 75 points it defeated [Sant Andreu](/source/UE_Sant_Andreu) on [penalties](/source/Penalty_shootout_(association_football)), in [the play-offs](/source/2009%E2%80%9310_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_Play-Off) (after winning and losing 1–0 over the two legs); subsequently, the club appeared in the league final, losing to [Granada](/source/Granada_CF) 0–1 on aggregate.

In [2010–11](/source/2010%E2%80%9311_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n) Ponferradina played in the second division for the second time, meeting the same fate after finishing in 21st position. [The following campaign](/source/2011%E2%80%9312_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B) the team finished second in its group and, after ousting [Real Jaén](/source/Real_Ja%C3%A9n), [Lucena](/source/Lucena_CF) and [Tenerife](/source/CD_Tenerife) in [the play-offs](/source/2012_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B_play-offs), promoted back.

In [2015-16 season](/source/2015-16_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n), Ponferradina were relegated after defeated by [Girona](/source/Girona_FC) on the last matchday, finishing in 19th position.

After three seasons in the third-tier Segunda B division, on the 29th of June 2019, Ponferradina won their two-legged playoff against Hércules to secure promotion back to the Segunda División.

In [2022-23 season](/source/2022-23_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n), Ponferradina were relegated to third division after four seasons in the second division.

### Rivalries

The longest rivalry of SD Ponferradina is the province of [León](/source/Province_of_Le%C3%B3n) rivalry with [Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa](/source/Cultural_y_Deportiva_Leonesa). However, the respective first teams of the two clubs haven't played each other since Ponferradina were promoted to the [Segunda División](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n) and Cultural were relegated to [Tercera División](/source/Tercera_Divisi%C3%B3n) in 2010.
