The history of Córdoba

Córdoba CF, known as Los Califas, was founded in 1954 in the historic Andalusian city of Córdoba. The club is deeply rooted in its region and has spent various periods in both La Liga and the Segunda División. Its most memorable era came during the 1960s and 1970s, when Córdoba established itself in Spain’s top flight and achieved a best-ever finish of fifth place. Home matches are played at Estadio Nuevo Arcángel, a modern venue with a capacity of around 21 000 spectators and one of the most distinctive stadiums in Andalusia.

Although Córdoba is not among Spain’s biggest clubs, it enjoys a passionate and loyal fanbase whose green-and-white pride fills the stands. Rivalries with Málaga, Cádiz and Real Jaén are well known, but the most intense rivalry is with Real Betis – a fixture steeped in tradition and emotion.

Over the years, many notable players have worn the Córdoba shirt. Among the most important are Miguel Reina, one of Spain’s best goalkeepers of the 1960s, along with José Luis Navarro and Juan Verdugo, both key figures in the club’s golden era. In more recent times, players like Florin Andone and Fidel have played vital roles during the club’s many promotions and relegations.

Córdoba CF may not always be in the spotlight, but the club’s character, its supporters’ devotion and the city’s proud heritage make every match at Nuevo Arcángel an experience infused with both history and heart.
