BRIEF HISTORY: Founded in 1930, until recently Girona FC was little more than one other of the many provincial Catalan clubs fighting it out in the lower leagues. As recently as 1999, they were down in the fifth tier 1a Catalana, and it wasn’t until 2009 that they made it into the second division for the first time in almost 60 years.
From there, things just got better and better. After knocking on the Liga door in a number of seasons, they finally made it for the first time ever in 2017. That was also the year that the City Football Group, owners among others of Manchester City, bought a stake in the club. That certainly helped the Girona cause, but it would be grossly unfair to suggest that that is the only reason for their newfound success. This is a club that has done a lot of things very right.
After two seasons, they dropped back down to the second division, but in 2022 they earned their way back into the top flight. In their first season back, they impressed. In their second season, they’ve been simply amazing.
