Lucena Club de Fútbol was founded in 1968. It was originally named Atlético Lucentino Industrial Club de Fútbol, receiving its current name in 2006.[3]
In little more than a year of management by Eduardo Bouzón and Javier Martí, who admitted the friendship with the president of Córdoba, Carlos González, Lucena CF fell dramatically without demonstrating its economic, sports and planning abilities.[4]
On 29 December 2015, the club resigned to continue playing in the 2015–16 edition of the Tercera División championship.[5] The poor economic management forced the coaching staff and the president to leave the club. The club did not issue any statement and simply sent its withdrawal documents to the Andalusian Federation.[6]
