Club de Fútbol Atlético Ciudad was a Spanish football club based in Murcia, in the autonomous community of Murcia. Founded in 2007, it played its last season in Segunda División B (group IV), holding home matches at Estadio Juan de la Cierva, with a 1,600-seat capacity.

History

On June 6, 2007, Ciudad de Murcia was acquired by an investor from Granada, transferring to that city and being renamed it Granada 74 CF. As the second division team moved to Granada, the reserve team and the Escuela Municipal Deporte Lorquí merged, and CA Ciudad de Lorquí was founded.

On October 31, 2008 the club changed its name to Club de Fútbol Atlético Ciudad. Two years later, on August 1, the club was forced to relegate to Tercera División after not being able to pay a debt due of €700,000 euros, which consequently led to the club being dissolved.^[1][2][3]
