History
editIntercity was created in 2017 by changing the structure of GCD Sant Joan d'Alacant.
In June 2018, after being promoted to Regional Preferente, the club aimed to play in Tercera División by merging with Novelda CF[1] but the Royal Spanish Football Federation rejected this.[2]
Also that month, Intercity announced its intention to be the first Spanish football club to be listed on the stock market.[3]
In 2019, Intercity were promoted to Tercera División as regional champion, thus qualifying for the first time for the Copa del Rey. After beating UD Gran Tarajal[4] in the preliminary round, the club faced Athletic Bilbao in the first round, losing 0–3.[5]
