Club de Fútbol Sporting Mahonés was a Spanish football team based in Mahón, Menorca, in the autonomous community of Balearic Islands prior to its 2012 dissolution.

History

C.F. Sporting Mahonés resulted from the merger of two other teams from Mahón, Club Deportivo Menorca and Unión Deportiva Mahón, in July 1974. They began life in the regional divisions of Balearic football before progressing to the Tercera División in 1977–78.

Between formation and 1978, Sporting played at two locations close to the centre of town, starting out at the former home of CD Menorca, the Campo Municipal de San Carlos. The following season saw the club play at the Estadio Mahonés, which had been the home of UD Mahón. More latterly home matches were played at the 3,000 seat capacity Estadio Bintaufa, situated to the south of the city, close to the Aeronautic Club.

On 24 January 2012, the team announced it was withdrawing from the Segunda División B, in mid-season, due to the fact that practically all the professional squad had left the club. With debts of over 230,000 euros and a transfer embargo in place, the club could not raise a team for the remainder of the season. Their final game was a 0–6 defeat at Sant Andreu, and just one year after the club withdrew from all competitions, on the 20 May 2013, the directives of the club agreed to dissolve Sporting Mahonés.

Estadi de Binitaufa

Just only a month after Sporting Mahonés disappeared, old directives of the club created a phoenix club named CF Sporting de Mahón, which currently plays in the Regional Preferente de Menorca, the regional league of Menorca. Despite the efforts done by the current directives of Sporting de Mahón to make their team able to be promoted, the club has never been promoted to Tercera División/Tercera Federación in its history of 11 years. However, Sporting de Mahón plays in the exact same location as Sporting Mahonés, in an artificial field located just few meters of Estadio Binitaufa.
