History
Lorca Deportiva was founded in 2002, right after the defunction of Lorca Club de Fútbol which had been born eight years earlier. The new club started in the fourth division after acquiring the place of CD Balsicas, and was promoted to the third level at the first attempt.
As
After Emery's departure, with many first-team players also leaving, Lorca was relegated the following campaign. In the middle of 2009, although it had just finished second in its group, economic issues led to another drop, to the fourth division.
For the 2010–11 season, the club was relocated to nearby Totana and renamed LD Olímpico.[1][2] On 18 October 2010, amidst serious economic problems, it retired from competition and folded, without chairman or players –[3][4] all 93 points that the team would lose for not showing up in the remaining 31 fixtures of the season were equally distributed by their opponents,[5] and Lorca was finally dissolved in 2012.
