History

UD Ibiza was founded in 2015 with the aim of replacing the former UD Ibiza-Eivissa that played two seasons in Segunda División B. In June 2017, the club was promoted to Tercera División after spending two seasons in the Regional league.[2]

On 7 August 2018, after the RFEF blocked Lorca FC's participation in Segunda División B, Ibiza paid the club's debts and achieved an administrative promotion to the third level.[3]

In 2019–20, the club competed in the Copa del Rey for the first time. They defeated Pontevedra and Albacete before a 1–2 home loss to Barcelona in the round of 32, having led the league title holders with 20 minutes to play.[4]

In 2020–21 Copa del Rey, UD Ibiza beat a Primera División team for the first time, winning 5–2 against Celta Vigo in the Second Round of the competition. Later, the team lost 1–2 to Athletic Bilbao in extra time.

On 23 May 2021, Ibiza was promoted for the first time ever to Segunda División by defeating UCAM Murcia CF in the final of the promotion play-off.
