Unión Deportiva Atlético Gramenet Milán is a Spanish football team based in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, in the autonomous community of Catalonia. Founded in 1945 it currently plays in Tercera División – Group 5, holding home games at Nou Municipal de Gramenet, with a capacity of 5,000.
UDA Gramenet was founded in 1945, through the merger of three teams from Santa Coloma de Gramenet: FC Gramenet, UD Colomense and CF Baleares. The club first reached the national categories in 1956, and first promoted to the third division 37 years later.
Gramenet finished three times in the top three in its first four seasons, but successively underachieved in the playoffs, against Real Jaén, CD Ourense and Sestao Sport Club (1993–94), Deportivo Alavés, Jaén and UD Las Palmas (1994–95) and Jaén, SD Lemona and Ourense (1996–97); in 1996 the club merged with C.D. Milán, who became Gramenet B.
In the 2004–05 season, still in the third division, Gramenet could only rank 16th in the league, but reached the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey after ousting FC Barcelona, Levante UD and UE Lleida, only being downed by Real Betis (2–2 at home, 3–4 away) who later went on to win the tournament. In the following years the club would only participate once in the promotion playoffs, losing 3–6 on aggregate to UD Salamanca in 2006.
