The side has competed in national leagues since 1928, gaining its first promotion to the Segunda División in 1933 and then to La Liga in 1944. Sabadell's longest spell in the top flight was from 1965 to 1972, and their most recent one from 1986 to 1988. In total, Sabadell has played 14 seasons in the Primera División, which makes it the third Catalan club with the most seasons and points in the competition after FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol. Moreover, the club has reached one Copa del Rey final, which they lost 3–0 to Sevilla FC in 1935. The Club has also played European competition before.

Sabadell has always known an intense rivalry with Terrassa FC, as both clubs are the strongest sides in the comarca Vallès Occidental. The Vallès derby is fueled by the rivalry between the cities of Sabadell and Terrassa and is known as one of the hottest derbies in Catalonia.

Symbols

Crest

The crest of Sabadell is formed by two elements. The first one is the coat of arms in the middle, based on the coat of arms of the city of Sabadell, which consists of two parts. The upper part contains blue and white squares, referring to the club's colours, and an onion, one of the symbols of the city. The lower part is formed by the Senyera, the flag of Catalonia. The coat of arms is surrounded at the top and the sides by a white ribbon containing the name of the club in black: Centre d'Esports Sabadell F.C.^[3] The crest has not undergone major changes since the club's foundation in 1903.^[4]

Hymn

The hymn of Sabadell is called Honor al Sabadell ("Honour to Sabadell") and replaced the hymn Sempre endavant Sabadell ("Always forward Sabadell") after the 1990-91 season.^[5] The current hymn was composed by Adolf Cabané (music) and Lluís Papell (lyrics).

The lyrics of the hymn are the following:

Cantem, cantem la joia indefinida

de veure el Sabadell entre els millors

després d'uns anys de lluita decidida

han assolit ressò nostres colors.

Alcem la copa així, ben alta

en honor del futbol de Sabadell.

Ciutat aimada que somriu i canta

donant goig i prestigi al joc més bell.

Honor al Sabadell! Honor a la Ciutat!

i visca el nostre club sempre estimat!

Cantem, cantem al Club de tanta història

forjada amb tants neguits i tants afanys.

Lluitant per assolir aquesta glòria

que ens ha portat l'esforç tants i tants anys.

Alcem la copa així, ben alta

en honor del futbol de Sabadell.

Ciutat aimada treballadora

ben units el més jove i el més vell.

Honor al Sabadell! Honor a la Ciutat!

i visca el nostre Club sempre estimat!

English translation:

Let's sing, let's sing the indefinite joy

of seeing Sabadell among the best

after some years of decided battle

our colours achieved repercussion.

Let's lift the cup like this, high enough

in honour of football from Sabadell.

Ciutat aimada, which laughs and sings,

giving excitement and prestige to the most beautiful game.

Honour to Sabadell! Honour to the City!

And long live our always-beloved club!

Let's sing, let's sing for the club with so much history

formed by so many worries and so much eagerness.

Battling to reach this glory

that our effort has brought us for so many years.

Let's lift the cup like this, high enough

in honour of football from Sabadell.

The working ciutat aimada,

uniting the youngest and oldest well.

Honour to Sabadell! Honour to the City!

And long live our always-beloved club!

History

In 1901, Joan Saus and a group of youngsters from the Sabadell Catalan Centre founded Centre d'Esports Sabadell, which became fully legalized on 5 June 1906. The club's first games were held in a grass field at Prat de Sant Oleguer but, on 3 June of that year, a stadium in the Creu Alta District was inaugurated, in a game against "Team X" from Barcelona, later known as RCD Espanyol; in 1912, in the same site, the first game under floodlights was played in the country.

Sabadell vs Sevilla, 1935 Copa del Rey final

In 1933–34, the club won its first major trophy, the Catalan Football Championship, which allowed the winner to participate in the Copa del Presidente de la República. During the former tournament, it won 15 games and drew once, reaching the latter's final in the following season, losing 0–3 to Sevilla FC at the Chamartín Stadium.

Sabadell first competed in La Liga in the 1943–44 season, finishing ninth. It improved to fifth in 1946–47, ranking in front of Real Madrid and only four points behind champions Valencia CF, just one season after returning from Segunda División.

In 1968–69, Sabadell, guided by manager Pasieguito, finished a best-ever fourth as the top flight already consisted of 16 clubs. José Luis Garzón was the top scorer of the team with 9 goals. Subsequently, it competed in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, losing to Club Brugge K.V. of Belgium in the first round (3–5 on aggregate). Sabadell won 2-0 at home in the first leg, with Pedro Zaballa scoring the first-ever goal of the club in an european competition and Cristo adding the second in the last minutes of the game. A 5-1 defeat in Brugge, with Josep Palau [es] scoring the away goal, ended the dream. In 1972, a seven-year ran in the top division came to an end, as the Arlequinats were relegated after finishing dead last.

On 18 May 1986, Sabadell returned to Primera División after defeating Atlético Madrileño 2-0 at home with goals from Joaquín Villa [es] and Nacho. ^[9] The team, which finished runner-up in 1985-86 Segunda División, was guided by manager Pedro Mari Uribarri and was captained by homegrown midfielder Lino Gutiérrez [es]. The following season, the team survived in the first tier after succeding in a dramatic relegation group in the 1986-87 La Liga managed by former goalkeeper and legend Pepe Martínez [es], the player with most games in Primera División in the club's history. Martínez was sacked on 2 November 1987 and was replaced by Antonio de la Cruz, who could not keep the team in the top division. Relegation to Segunda División was confirmed on 22 May 1988 after losing 2-0 in San Mamés against Athletic Club and finishing second from bottom.

CE Sabadell became a public limited sports company in 1991, being relegated to Segunda División B two years later, and immediately to Tercera División following severe economic problems. After achieving promotion in 1994 with a very young team guided by manager Antonio Jaurrieta ^{[10] [11]}, the club spent the following seventeen years in the third level (with the exception of 2006–07 in the fourth). In that dark period, there were only three highlights, two of them with manager Pere Valentí Mora in charge: the 1999-2000 Copa Federación de España title against the reserve team of Elche CF ^[12] and a third place finish the following season which allowed the team to play in the play-offs, with hopes of promotion to the second tier ended after a home defeat against Burgos CF. ^[13] The third one was another unsuccessful promotion play-off after the team finished fourth in the 2008–09 Segunda División B. This time, the dream was over after a controversial game against Real Unión de Irún. ^[14] Ramón Moya, who had also been the manager in the return to Segunda B two seasons before ^[15], narrowly missed a second promotion with the club.

In the 2010–11 season, Sabadell, managed by Lluís Carreras, won its group in the regular season. In the playoffs, the team drew both games against SD Eibar, but was eventually promoted on the away goals rule following the 1–1 score at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium with Marc Fernández scoring the historic goal, returning to the professional divisions after 18 years. Three young players who were loaned by other catalan clubs, winger Isaac Cuenca, midfielder Juanjo Ciércoles and striker Hiroshi Ibusuki, had a big impact in the successful campaign. ^[16] It was the second promotion for goalkeeper David de Navas, who signed for the club when it was in the fourth tier in 2007. ^[17]

Sabadell struggled in their return to the second level finishing in 19th place, being the first side in the relegation zone. However, they were spared when Villarreal CF dropped down a division in the top flight, which led to the automatic relegation of its reserve team Villarreal CF B. Sabadell finished second level as 16th in 2012–13 season, with Carreras departing at the end of the campaign. 10th place was achieved in the 2013–14 season, the best final position in the second tier since 1992, with Miquel Olmo as manager. The following season was much more difficult, with Olmo sacked on november and his successor Álex García winning only one of his nine league games in charge. ^[18] Although the team improved with the appointment of Juan Carlos Mandiá, Sabadell finished in the 21st place and was relegated to the third level after 4 years. ^[19]

Sabadell had a lot of financial problems after the relegation to Segunda B. Japanese owner Keisuke Sakamoto, who had bought the club in 2012, sold it to Aragón-based company Viacron in 2015. The best sporting achievement of these years was winning the 2015-16 Copa Catalunya, defeating FC Barcelona B in the final in the Nova Creu Alta with goals from Sandro Toscano and Ernest Forgàs. Esteve Calzada, a former member of FC Barcelona board and a marketing expert whose company worked for Manchester City, bought the club in 2017. Difficulties in finding a new investor meant that from 2017 to 2019 the club was more concerned with relegation avoidance than real hopes of promotion.

In August 2019, the club announced an historical agreement with a group of international investors (led by Pau Morilla-Giner), whereby this Group would both bail out the Club and achieve majority ownership through periodic capital infusions over the following three years to guarantee institutional stability and financial resources to achieve sustainable success.^[20] On the back of this, and guided by manager Antonio Hidalgo, the Club secured promotion to the La Liga Smartbank Segunda División in July 2020 by beating Barcelona B 2–1 in the Segunda División B playoff final after five-years in third division with goals from Aleix Coch and Néstor Querol.^[21]

The team was immediately relegated in the following 2020–21 season by the narrow margin of one single point, and joined the newly created 1a RFEF Division. Hidalgo was sacked after a poor start of the new season ^[22] , and the team missed the play-offs in the last matchday after the improvement made by new manager Pedro Munitis. ^[23] Investment was much lower in the 2022-23 season, but safety was achieved thanks to the contribution of talented young players such as Pau Víctor, Sergi Altimira and Álex Sala.

During 2023-24 Season, Chairman Esteve Calzada became CEO of Saudi Club Al Hilal SFC and was replaced by board member Pau Morilla-Giner. Manager Miki Lladó, who had done a great job saving the team from relegation the season before, was sacked after seven games. ^[24] He was replaced by his assistant Gerard Bofill, who could not achieve a single point in six games and was fired with the team in the bottom of the table. ^[25] The team improved with the signing of manager Óscar Cano and sporting director Carlos Rosende, but was relegated to Segunda Federacion after failing to win the last game away against CD Lugo on 25 May 2024. Some weeks before the end of the season, Chairman Morilla-Giner found a new ownership group led by venture capitalist Adam Rothstein . In his first interview, Rothstein outlined the strategic plans for the years ahead. Despite the relegation, Rothstein stayed loyal to his words and the club was able to form a competitive team to try to go back to Primera Federación.

At the end of 2024-25 Season, the team, guided by manager David Movilla, achieved promotion to Primera RFEF via a successful playoff run defeating UCAM Murcia CF in the final. ^[26]

In June 2025, the team announced the appointment of Ferran Costa as Head Coach.

Stadium

Sabadell plays home games at Estadi de la Nova Creu Alta. Inaugurated on 20 August 1967 with a 1–0 win against FC Barcelona, it has a capacity of 11,908 spectators.^[28]

Supporters

The club has multiple supporter groups. Most groups have activities related to the social life of the members. For example, THE WALKING ARLEKIN CLUB has walking excursions during the season, usually before matches.^[29] There are also groups like Honor 1903, La Força Arlequinada and Supporters Gol Nord, that focus more on the encouragement of the team, before, during and after the matches. Most of those groups usually concentrate in the northern stand at the Nova Creu Alta.^{[citation needed]}

The club used to have a fan club called Hooligans Vallès. They used to be a far right-wing group which was established in 1993.^[30] In 2011, the group was disbanded as an official supporter group. In 2014, two fans were expelled from the Nova Creu Alta, after performing a Nazi salute during a match.^[31] However, in 2016, an unofficial Hebrew supporter group was created, under the name CE Sabadell Hebreu - סבאדל בעברית. The group provides news about the club in its Facebook and Twitter pages, for Israeli and other Hebrew-speaking fans.^{[citation needed]}

The fans have good relations with Bristol Rovers, which initially began due to several Rovers fans noticing that the local club had the same colours.^[32] They also have a friendship with Gerunda Sud of Girona FC, and rivalries with Desperdicis of UE Sant Andreu, Penya Sport of Palamos CF and Rudes Lleida of Lleida Esportiu.^[33]
