Getafe history
Getafe Club de Fútbol was founded in 1983 in its namesake city, part of the Community of Madrid. The club waited until 2004 for its first promotion to La Liga. Once there, it held on for twelve straight seasons, through 2016, before dropping down. The stay outside the top tier was brief, since Getafe came back up in 2017 and has competed in La Liga again since then.
Home has been the Estadio Coliseum since 1998, which means the team moved in six years before reaching the top flight. The ground holds 16,500 people. Rivalries run close to home: Leganés are based near Getafe, and the club also has rivalries with Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid.
