Racing Club de Ferrol, S.A.D. (founded in 1917)
is a Spanish
football team from the city of Ferrol, Galicia near
the port of A
Coruña, in north-western Spain.
The colours of the club have always been green
shirts with white shorts, though during the early years of
existence they used to have green and white shirts with vertical
bands. Racing de Ferrol has played most of its existence in the Spanish
second division, although they have descended to as low as the fourth
level.
History
The history of football in Ferrol is
associated to the shipbuilding yards, workshops, foundries and dry docks and the British technical
advisors,[1][2][3] hired
to work locally who used to play against existing teams. During the
late 1800s and early 1900s there were different football teams
organized in Ferrol, though only one of them has survived, and as a
result of an amalgamation of some other previous teams.
Racing Ferrol Football Club traces its origins
back to June 1919, when the final team as it stands today was
finally established. These days they play in the Spanish Segunda División B.
In 2006-07, the club gained promotion to the second
level in the playoffs, with a 2-1 aggregate victory over
Alicante CF. In the
season 2007-08
season they were again relegated to the third level.

Stadiums
Estadio de la Malata holds 12,042 and
was built in 1993. The pitch dimensions are 105 x 68 metres.
Racing have used three main stadiums over the years, starting
with Campo de Futbol Inferniño, which was utilized until a
move to Estadio Manuel Rivera in 1954 took place. This was
an oval shaped enclosure with a single cantilever stand. In the
1970s, a cover was erected over the popular terrace.
In 1993 the metropolitan area of Ferrol built Estadio de
la Malata to the west of the town, near the valley of Serantes.
The total cost of the development was 1700 million pesetas.
The first match there played was on 18 April 1993, in a 3-2 win
over Atlético Madrid B. The official
inauguration took place on 29 August, in a triangular tournament
featuring the home side and neighbours Celta de Vigo and Deportivo La Coruña.
