Club Deportivo Málaga was a Spanish football club based in Málaga, in the autonomous community of Andalusia. It played twenty seasons in La Liga, before being dissolved in 1992.
History
Origins
The first football club in Málaga was established in 1904, with the formation of the Málaga Foot-Ball Club.[2] It was nothing more than a society intended to promote football, a new sport in the city, carried from the United Kingdom.
