Club Deportivo Atlético Baleares, officially called Balears Futbol Club, is the women's football section of CD Atlético Baleares. The club is located in Palma (Mallorca, Balearic Islands) and competes in the Primera Federación, the second level of Spanish women's soccer. Atlético Baleares plays its matches at Son Malferit.[1]

History

The current team had a precedent in the 1980s, when CIDE, a neighbourhood team from Palma, became part of Atlético Baleares for the 1984-85 season. The team ended the season as champion of the Regional League of Mallorca and played the quarterfinals of Copa de la Reina, but would not continue and moved to another club when the season ended.[2][3]

The current section was presented on 6 August 2018 and consisted of an amateur team of 18 players.[4][5] The first season, 2018-19, Atlético Baleares was promoted to the Primera Nacional.[6][7] In 2021-22, the team ended second and was promoted to the Segunda Federación, a newly created third category.[8][9]

After promotion to the Segunda Federación, the club aimed to stay up during the 2022-23 season, but the results were above expectations, and the team finished third, on the verge of a second promotion. In 2023-24, Atlético Baleares came second and competed in the play-off for promotion to the Primera Federación against UD Granadilla Tenerife B (2-1 in Palma and 2-2 in Adeje), and achieved promotion to the Primera Federación.[10][11] In short, Atlético Baleares achieved three promotions in six years of life, reaching the second category of Spanish women's football.

Stadium

Atlético Baleares holds its home games at Camp de Son Malferit, with a 1,200-spectators capacity.
