Team History
Once a prestigious club and mainstay in La Liga standings, Elche FC is working to earn back the reputation it had during the 1960s and 1970s. Elche participated in La Liga odds all but two seasons from 1959-60 to 1977-78 and finished as high as fifth in 1963-64. The club finished top 10 in the table in seven of eight seasons from 1961-62 to 1970-71.

The club appears to be trending in the right direction, finishing 13th in La Liga standings in 2021-22.
