History

Intercity was created in 2017 by changing the structure of GCD Sant Joan d'Alacant,

In June 2018, after promoting to Regional Preferente, the club looked for playing in Tercera División by merging with Novelda CF[1] but later, the Royal Spanish Football Federation rejected this operation.[2]

Also in that month, Intercity announced its intention to be first Spanish football club to be listing in the stock market.[3]

In 2019, Intercity were promoted to Tercera División by being regional champion, thus qualifying for the first time to the Copa del Rey. After beating UD Gran Tarajal[4] in the preliminary round, the club faced Athletic Bilbao in the first round, being defeated by 0–3.[5]
