CE Sabadell (femení) is the women's football team of CE Sabadell. In the beginning of the 21st century, it was one of the most successfull teams in Spanish women's football, winning the 2003 Copa de la Reina[1] and finishing as runner-up in both the 2003-04 Superliga Femenina[2] and the 2004 Copa de la Reina.[3]

The team is playing now in Preferent Catalana, the fifth tier of Spanish football, after being promoted in the 2024-25 season.[4]

History

CE Sabadell was one of the founding members of the Spanish league in 1988.

Fifteen years later they won their first national title, the 2003 Copa de la Reina. The following season Sabadell were the runners-up in the league, and again reached the Copa's final, which this time they lost to Levante UD in the extra time.

However, this golden era was short-lived and the team withdrew from the competition in 2005 after collapsing financially.[5]

Double Ballon D'Or winner Alexia Putellas played in the youth teams of the club between 2001 and 2005.[6][7]

Stadium

CE Sabadell (women) plays home games at Ciutat Esportiva Sabadell-Olímpia, a few meters away from Nova Creu Alta stadium.
