Burgos Club de Fútbol, S.A.D. is a Spanish football team. It is based in the city of Burgos, which is in the region of Castile and León, Spain.

The first club named Burgos CF stopped playing in 1983. This happened because they had money problems after being moved down from the top league in 1980. The current Burgos CF was started in 1985. It was first called Club Deportivo Burgos Club de Fútbol. However, they did not start playing in official games until 1994.

Burgos CF plays its home games at the Estadio El Plantío. This stadium can hold about 12,646 fans. The team currently competes in the Segunda División, which is the second highest football league in Spain.

Club History

The First Burgos CF

The original Burgos CF was created in 1922. It was also known as Gimnástica Burgalesa Club de Fútbol.

This club played in the top Spanish league, La Liga, for four years in a row. They were moved down to a lower league in the 1979–80 season. Some famous players from this time included Miguel Ángel Portugal and Antonio García Navajas. Both of them later played for Real Madrid. Important coaches during this period were Arsenio Iglesias and Lucien Müller.

After two seasons in the Segunda División, the club faced big money problems. They were moved down to Segunda División B in the 1981–82 season. This happened because they could not pay their players, even though they finished in a good position.

In the next season, the team finished 3rd in their group. But their money situation was still very bad. On May 24, 1983, the club decided to close down.

At that time, the reserve team, Burgos Promesas, had just moved up to Tercera División. It was decided that this team would become a separate club. It continued to play as Real Burgos Club de Fútbol. This new club played in the top league for three seasons. But it also stopped playing shortly after being moved down in 1993. Right after that, the current Burgos CF was started again.

Burgos CF: 1994 to Today

In 1994, the new Burgos CF began playing in the Primera Provincial. This was the sixth level of Spanish football. Félix Arnaiz was their first coach. The team quickly moved up two leagues to the Tercera División. In 1997, the club moved up again, this time to Segunda División B.

After a tough first year, Burgos CF started to play well. They began trying to get promoted to Segunda División. In 2001, on their third try, they finally made it! They won against Sabadell, Ceuta, and Ourense in the play-offs.

In the 2001–02 season, with Enrique Martín as coach, Burgos finished 16th. However, they were moved back down to Segunda División B. This was because the club did not become a "Sociedad Anónima Deportiva" (a special type of sports company) as required.

After this, Burgos continued to play in Segunda División B. They almost got promoted again in the 2007 play-offs. But they lost to Sevilla Atlético in extra time. One year later, the club was moved down to Tercera División. This happened after they tied a game against CF Palencia, which meant both teams were moved down.

Burgos spent three seasons in Tercera División. They moved back up in the 2011 play-offs. They beat UD Lanzarote 4–0 in a home game. But the next season, 2011–12 Segunda División B, was very bad. The club finished last in their group.

Just one year later, Burgos CF moved up to the third league again. They beat CD El Palo 3–2 in the 2013 play-offs.

On June 19, 2017, the club decided to become a "Sociedad Anónima Deportiva." This was 16 years after their first attempt. They finally achieved this goal on April 6, 2018.

On June 4, 2019, Burgos CF started working with CD Nuestra Señora de Belén. This made them the women's football section of the club.

In 2020–21, Burgos won their group. They were promoted to the second division, Segunda División. This was 19 years after they were last there. They won against Bilbao Athletic in the promotion play-off finals.
