Elche Club de Fútbol Ilicitano is a Spanish football club based in Elche, in the autonomous community of Valencia. Founded in 1932 as Club Deportivo Ilicitano, a farm team, it is the reserve team of Elche CF, and plays in Tercera División – Group 6, holding home games at Ciudad Deportiva Elche CF, with a capacity of 2,000 seats.
Unlike in England, reserve teams in Spain play in the same football pyramid as their senior team rather than a separate league.
The team is officially known as Elche CF Ilicitano on the club's official promotion and website, but Professional Football League rules prohibit B teams from having different names to their parent.
Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
