History
The team was founded in 1922 under the name FC Catalunya, later in the 1930s it would change its name to Catalunya Nova. At the end of the Spanish civil war, the club underwent a name change again and was renamed CD Nacional, finally in 1941 it adopted the name Club de Fútbol Reddis, with which it is known.[1]
During most of its history, CF Reddis was the second most important club in the city of Reus, due to the prominence of CF Reus Deportiu. Since while Reus Deportiu played national competitions such as Segunda División, Segunda B and Tercera División, Reddis remained in the regional categories of Catalan football, between 2010 and 2015 Reddis functioned as a reserve team for Reus Deportiu.[2]
In 2018 a financial crisis began for Reus Deportiu, finally the team was liquidated in October 2020 after not being able to settle its debts, so CF Reddis became the main team in the city.[3]
During 2021, conversations began between CF Reddis and the youth football branch of CF Reus Deportiu for the creation of a unique club project. Finally, in the summer of 2022, the Reddis members' assembly approved the proposal and the team was renamed Reus FC Reddis. In addition, the team began to use the colors red and black as the main colors, leaving the traditional white and blue as secondary colors. The team also moved to the Estadi Municipal de Reus.[4][5]
In May 2023, Reus FCR were promoted to the Tercera Federación after beating Cambrils UCF and securing the championship of the Primera Catalana – Group 3, in this way the team was able to access the national categories of Spanish football for the first time in their history and return the city of Reus to national football leagues after an absence of four years.[6]
