About Girona FC

Girona FC is a Spanish football club based in Girona, Catalonia. It was founded on 23 July 1930 after earlier local football projects in the city disappeared due to financial problems. The club grew gradually from regional and lower-division football, spending most of its history outside the top tiers of Spanish football. Its home matches are played at the Estadi Montilivi, which has become an important symbol of the club’s identity and its modern rise.

For many decades, Girona moved between the lower divisions of Spanish football, often facing financial difficulties and limited sporting success. The club spent long periods in the third and second divisions, slowly building stability and a stronger organizational structure. A major turning point came in the late 2000s, when Girona reached the professional levels of Spanish football and eventually made its way to La Liga for the first time in its modern era.

In recent years, Girona has become one of the most surprising success stories in Spanish football. After returning to La Liga, the club established itself as a competitive side and achieved its best-ever league performances, including a historic season where it finished near the top of the table and qualified for European competition for the first time. This rapid rise has significantly increased the club’s profile domestically and internationally, marking a new and ambitious chapter in its history.
