Terrassa Futbol Club is aSpanish football team based inTerrassa,Barcelona, in the autonomous community ofCatalonia. Founded in 1906, it currently plays inSegunda Federación – Group 3, holding home matches atEstadi Olímpic de Terrassa, with a capacity of 7,500 spectators.[3]
Terrassa's foundations were set in 1914, with the first regulations being created by the board of directors, presided by Narcís Freixa Ubach. Three years later the club played one of its first international matches, againstFC Basel ofSwitzerland, also winning three trophies:Copa Ramón Torras,Copa del Día Gráfico andCopa Sport, playing (and winning) twice againstFC Barcelona, 1–0 and 2–1.[4]
Terrassa won its firstCopa Catalunya in 1925,[4] and first reachedSegunda División seventeen years later,[5] although it would be immediately relegated for the following 11 seasons.
In the1960–61 campaign, with the team again in the second level – being again relegated – aCopa del Rey tie againstBarça was played at theCamp Nou, with the hosts winning it 4–2 in front of over 80,000 spectators. The new ground,Estadi Olímpic de Terrassa, was also inaugurated with a 2–4 loss withSevilla FC, as the club's new exile inTercera División would be even longer the second time (14 years, althoughSegunda División B had not yet been created as the new division three).
On 29 May 1972, new club president Josep Masdefiol i Peralta was elected: other than aiding the club financially, he would eventually create theTrofeo Internacional de Fútbol Ciudad de Terrassa, withReal Zaragoza,Ferencvárosi TC andFC Bayern Munich being the first participants. Still, the club's anthem was created, by Vicenç Villatoro.
Terrassa played the 1977 relegation play-offs againstAD Almería, winning after its opponent had fielded an ineligible player. In the 1980s, the club eventually dropped two levels, and had reached the regional leagues by 1990; as in several times in the past, thecity hall intervened and enabled the club to stay afloat.
In2001–02's third division, Terrassa finished in fifth position, but was allowed to participate in the promotion playoffs after Zaragoza's first teamrelegated from the top flight, renderingits reserves' possible promotion impossible. The promotion was attained after six matches and as many wins.
The club would play the next three years in division two, performing solidly in the first two: in2002–03 Spanish Cup Terrassa fought valiantly againstReal Madrid, before bowing out 5–7 on aggregate, thanks to longtimemidfielder Monty who scored three goals in the tie.[6][7] A fourth Catalonia Cup was added with a win atCF Gavà, before the team eventually returned to the third level at the end of2004–05 season, as third from bottom.
FormerSpanish internationalJuanele played one of his last professional campaigns with the club.
