History
[edit]Founded in 1930 as Unión Deportiva Ibense, the club merged with another Rayo in the city in 1956 to form Rayo Ibense Club de Fútbol. They first achieved promotion to Tercera División three years later, and spent nine consecutive seasons in the third tier before suffering relegation.
In 1987, after another four-year spell in Tercera, Rayo Ibense were renamed to Sociedad Deportiva Ibi. The club ceased activities in 1996, five years after being renamed to Unión Deportiva Rayo Ibense, but returned to action in the following year under the same name.
Rayo Ibense returned to the fourth tier in 2017, after a 32-year absence. In 2019 they suffered relegation, and achieved promotion to the Tercera Federación in June 2022.[4]
