BRIEF HISTORY: Unión Deportivo Las Palmas was founded in 1949 as an amalgamation of various smaller clubs in the city, and enjoyed immediate success. They took just two years to reach La Liga, and remained there almost permanently for four decades, finishing as high as second in 1969 and reaching the Copa del Rey Final in 1978.
Since they were relegated in 1988, the club’s fortunes have dropped. Other than two short spells in the top flight, they have spent the last three and half decades in the second and third divisions, but last season they won their way back to the highest category.
