History

CB Ciudad de Ponferrada was founded in 2002 with the aim to replace the former team, that ceased in activity. The club started playing in the fifth tier and five years later, achieved their first promotion to Liga EBA. However, Ciudad de Ponferrada could not remain in the league and was relegated again.

After some years between regional and provincial leagues, in 2013 the club failed to promote again in the final stage played in Ponferrada. However, two years later, Ciudad de Ponferrada achieved a vacant berth in the league.

On 18 May 2019, Ciudad de Ponferrada achieved promotion to LEB Plata, tier three after leading the group A-B and finishing unbeaten in the final stage.[1]
