Football club
Unión Deportiva Ibiza is a
Spanish professional football club based in the town of
Ibiza , in the
autonomous community of the
Balearic Islands . Founded in 2015, it plays in
Primera Federación – Group 2, holding home matches at
Estadi Municipal de Can Misses , with a capacity of 6,000.

History
UD Ibiza was founded in 2015 by former
Valencia CF president
Amadeo Salvo , as a revival of
UD Ibiza-Eivissa which had folded five years earlier. The new organisation was allowed to use the old one's identity, by settling its €50,000 debt with the
Royal Spanish Football Federation and the regional federation in the
Balearic Islands .
[2] In June 2017, the club was promoted to
Tercera División after spending two seasons in the Regional league.
[3]
On 7 August 2018, after the RFEF blocked
Lorca FC 's participation in
Segunda División B , Ibiza paid the club's debts and achieved an administrative promotion to the third level.
[4]
In
2019–20 , the club competed in the
Copa del Rey for the first time. They defeated
Pontevedra and
Albacete Balompié before a 1–2 home loss to
FC Barcelona in the round of 32, having led the league title holders with 20 minutes to play.
[5] In
the following edition , UD Ibiza beat a top-flight team for the first time, winning 5–2 against
Celta Vigo in the second round of the competition;
[6] later they lost 2–1 to
Athletic Bilbao after extra time.
[7]
On 23 May 2021, Ibiza was promoted for the first time ever to
Segunda División by defeating
UCAM Murcia in the final of the promotion play-off, via an
Ekain Zenitagoia goal from the penalty spot.
[8] To compete in the
Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional , the club became a
Sociedad Anónima Deportiva with a starting capital of €700,000.
[9] Manager
Juan Carlos Carcedo , who led the team to promotion, was dismissed on 18 December following six games without a win;
[10] his replacement
Paco Jémez saved the team from relegation with a 15th-place finish, which was not enough for Salvo to give him a new contract.
[11]
On 28 April 2023, Ibiza were relegated to
Primera Federación after being defeated 1–0 at
Racing Santander , ending their two-season spell in the second division.
