Zamora

Zamora Club de Fútbol is a Spanish football club based in Zamora, in the autonomous community of Castilla y León. The club was officially founded on 8th February 1969, and its team colors are traditionally white and red, reflecting the colors of the city's coat of arms. The team plays its home games at the Estadio Ruta de la Plata, a stadium with a capacity of approximately 7,813 spectators.

Zamora CF has spent the majority of its existence in the third tier of Spanish football, the Segunda División B. However, the team has had its moments of glory and has made several appearances in the Segunda División, the second highest level in the Spanish football league system. Despite not having a long history in the top tiers of Spanish football, Zamora CF has consistently proven to be a formidable force in the lower leagues.

The club's most noteworthy achievement to date is winning the Segunda División B in the 2001-2002 season, earning promotion to the Segunda División. However, their stay in the second tier was short-lived as they were relegated after just one season. Despite this setback, Zamora CF has remained resilient, consistently competing at a high level in the third tier and occasionally challenging for promotion.

Zamora CF has also had some success in the Copa del Rey, Spain's premier domestic cup competition. The club has reached the last 32 of the competition on multiple occasions, most notably in the 1982-1983 and 2005-2006 seasons.

The club has a strong local following and is known for its passionate and loyal fan base. Despite the team's modest achievements on the national stage, the fans are a testament to the club's importance to the local community. Zamora CF has also been praised for its youth academy, which has produced several players who have gone on to have successful careers in higher divisions.

In recent years, the club has faced financial difficulties, but it has managed to survive thanks to the support of its fans and the local community. Despite these challenges, Zamora CF continues to compete with determination and ambition, embodying the spirit of the city it represents.

In the 2019-2020 season, Zamora CF was crowned champion of the Segunda División B Group 2, earning promotion to the newly formed Segunda División Pro (also known as Primera División RFEF), which is the new third level of the Spanish football league system starting from the 2021-2022 season.

Throughout its history, Zamora CF has shown a remarkable ability to overcome adversity and has remained a source of pride for the city of Zamora. The club's story is one of resilience, community spirit, and a deep love for football.
