History

In July 2010 Cristóbal Sánchez Arcas, an entrepreneur from Lorca, Spain, bought Murcia-based club Sangonera Atlético CF and moved it to his city.[1][2] It started competing professionally in the third division.

In June 2012, Lorca Atlético was doubly relegated: after finishing the season in 16th position, it suffered a further drop to the regional championships for failing to pay its players.[3]
