History
Officially founded in 1908 (posterior records show earlier denominations, as 1903's
Foot Ball Club de Murcia
and 1906's
Murcia Football Club
), Real Murcia was named as such, in 1923-24, by
king Alfonso XIII. The following year, the
La Condomina
stadium was inaugurated, with the club holding home games there for the next 82 years uninterrupted.
In 1929, the club first competed in
Tercera División
, achieving its first ever
La Liga
promotion in 1939-40, a feat repeated four years later. After years of mainly playing in
the second level (even briefly returning to the fourth), it returned to the first division for
1980-81, for another nine-year spell.
During the 90's, Murcia also featured briefly in
Tercera
, but played mainly in the second division. Both the last match played at the old
Condomina
, on November 11, 2006, and the first at
the new grounds, 15 days later, resulted in home defeats (0-1 to
Polideportivo Ejido and 1-4 against
Real Valladolid); however, Murcia
returned to the first division three years after its last spell.
Murcia started
2007-08 well, resisting in mid-table positions until early 2008, with not even the change in coach, with former
national team boss
Javier Clemente taking over
Lucas Alcaraz, being able to prevent relegation.
In
2008-09, with Murcia placed in the
relegation zone, Clemente was also sacked, in mid-December 2008.
