Elche CF Betting Stats

Elche CF was founded in 1923 after all of the area teams merged. Their first league season, in 1929-30, was in the third division. Los Franjiverdes earned promotion to the second division for the first time in 1934.

In the early years, Elche were unable to break through to the top tier and spent a lot of time in the third division. One of the most impressive Elche FC stats is their two consecutive promotions in 1958 and 1959. They won the Tercera Division in 1958 and reached La Liga for the first time in 1959, by winning the Segunda Division.

Surprisingly, Elche’s first spell in La Liga was a long one as they survived from 1959 to 1971. Los Franjiverdes finished a respectable tenth in 1959-60 and one of the most notable Elche FC stats comes from the 1963-64 season. They finished a best-ever fifth place in La Liga in ‘63-’64 and made their first and only Copa Del Rey final in 1969. After 12 seasons in the top flight, they were relegated in 1971.

Just two years later, Elche returned to La Liga for a five-year stay. They didn’t win any silverware but finished in eighth place in 1974-75. After relegation in 1978, Elche returned to La Liga twice in the 80s, but only for one season each. Most of their time in the 80s was spent in the second division, while they were regularly in the third division in the 90s.
