History

Barakaldo played the 1918–19 season in the Category C of the Regional Championship and became the champion without losing a single game throughout the season, promoted to category B.^[2]

Barakaldo lost its place in the second category in the 1944–45 season, but in the 1945–46 season the club returned to the Segunda División.^[2] Nevertheless, the next 1946–47 season was not successful for the club. It finished in the 11th position among 14 teams, just one point away from the last position.^[3] In the following campaign Barakaldo improved its position, finishing 9th.^[4]
