Som Maresme Futbol Club, S.A.D.[2] is a Catalan Spanish football team based in Premià de Dalt, Barcelona, in the Autonomous Community of Catalonia. Founded in 1947, it currently plays in Camp de fútbol municipal de Premià de Dalt, with a capacity for 1,200 spectators.

History

Leandro Calm, the mayor of the city, founded the club as Unión Deportiva Llagostera on 13 November 1947. He also became its first president.[3] Llagostera spent most of its history in the Catalan regional leagues, promoting to Tercera División for the first time ahead of the 2009–10 season. In only its second season at that level, the club won its group before defeating CCD Cerceda 3–0 on aggregate in the promotion play-offs.[4]

In 2011–12, its first season in Segunda División B, Llagostera finished only one point out of the play-offs, instead qualifying for the next season's Copa del Rey, where it reached the last 32 before a 5–1 aggregate loss to giants Valencia CF.[5] The team was promoted to the professional leagues for the first time in 2014 with a 3–2 aggregate comeback win over Real Avilés[6] and beating Gimnàstic de Tarragona after the overtime in the last round of the playoffs.[7]

As their stadium did not meet LFP criteria for home games, Llagostera had as its home stadium from 2014 to 2017 the Estadi Palamós Costa Brava, 30 km from Llagostera, which holds 3,724 spectators. The club held its own in its first season in Segunda División, coming within four points of a play-off berth. It was relegated back to the third tier towards after two seasons.[8]

On 30 June 2017, the club announced it would come back to the Estadi Municipal de Llagostera.[9] One year later, Llagostera would be relegated to Tercera División, after losing the relegation playoffs against Izarra, but bounced back immediately with victory against Club Portugalete in June 2019.[10]

In the 2020 Copa Federación de España, Llagostera emerged as champions following a 2–1 extra time win in the final. On 31 July 2021, the club announced the change of name to Unió Esportiva Costa Brava, moving to the city of Palamós and changing the club's logo.[11]

On 19 July 2022, Costa Brava was absorbed by CF Badalona. As Badalona was relegated to Tercera Federación, Costa Brava changed name to Club de Fútbol Badalona Futur, with the original Badalona acting as a reserve team.[12][2]

In the summer of 2023, the agreement between Badalona Futur and CF Badalona was broken, so Futur was forced to play its home games in Vic.[13] In November the team won the Copa Federación.[14]

In the summer of 2024, the team was relocated again, being based in Premià de Dalt, after the team failed to obtain the necessary permits in other previously proposed towns.[1]

In January 2025, entrepreneur Sedrak Petrosyan bought Badalona Futur with the intention of making it disappear at the end of the 2024–25 season and create a new project for the next season based in Premià de Dalt.[15] In June 2025, the club changed its name to Som Maresme FC. The new name was revealed with great discretion, as no journalists had leaked any information about the project's identity prior to the official announcement.[16]

In August 2025, the Royal Spanish Football Federation denied the club's registration in the Tercera Federación, arguing the existence of debts that had not been paid.[17] The board argued that the payments were made outside the established deadline and that they had been the responsibility of the previous management, so it filed an appeal, which was rejected.[18] As a result, the team was relegated to the regional divisions of Catalonia.[19] The Catalan Football Federation subsequently denied the team's registration in the leagues organized by them, meaning Som Maresme is unable to compete in Spanish federated football.[20]

On September 19, 2025, the Som Maresme board announced the team's hiatus due to the impossibility of competing in any category. In the same announcement, the club reported the initiation of a judicial process against the Catalan and Spanish football federations, arguing financial and competitive damages against the team.[21]
