History[]

Foundation and early years[]

Before the creation of El Pozo Murcia, Murcia city had a football team in the competitions of the Spanish Federation, known as Cruz Little Jewel of Murcia. The food group El Pozo had sponsored the team in the 1986/87 season, but with the creation of the LNFS wanted to have their own club.

In its first year under the direction Duda, El Pozo was a finalist and semifinalist Spain Cup title LNFS. A year later, Murcia won their second Cup after beating Spain Boomerang Interviú Madrid, and reached the final of the league, who lost to Madrid side.

The Cup victory in 2003 allowed El Pozo to contest in the Cup Winners Cup, a competition he won and his first international trophy. Both in 2004 and 2005 El Pozo reached the final of the National League, but both times fell against the Interviú soccer. At the end of the 2004–05 season, Paulo Roberto announced his retirement from professional football and the club began a generational change with former footballer and sporting director. The club transferred to their stars Lenisio and Balo, and bought in their place Bacaro and Wilde, who became one of the top scorers of the club.

In the 2005–06 season the club changed its name sponsorship, becoming Pozo Murcia Tourist. In that year the club Duda finished first in the regular season, and beat Polaris World Cartagena in the final in five games. Thus, Murcia got their second league title after eight seasons. By the next year, El Pozo retain their title by beating Boomerang Interviú. That same year they won the last Iberian Cup disputed.

For the 2007–08 season Murcia had the chance to win five titles between national and international competitions. However, El Pozo could only win the Copa de España. In the championship, El Pozo Murcia finished the regular season in first place, but fell in the final against Interviú Fadesa.

El Pozo Murcia won two consecutive league titles in the 2008–09 and 2009–10 seasons. It was during that time the club won the domestic treble.

And Came From Bail, Dani Salgado, Jaison, was ceded Esquerdinha Caja Segovia and Alex come up with the first team after the transfer of Jaison. Even with all of the changes in 2010–2011, against all the odds, El Pozo reached the final of the Copa de España against Barcelona Alusport, but did not emerge as victors, and finished second in league table, but was knocked out of the playoffs by Benicarló Aeroport Castelló by a convincing 2–0.

The following year 2011–2012 the club brought in Miguelín and Grello from AE Manacor and Esquerdinha from Caja Segovia. The club lost the Super Cup at the start of the season to Barcelona Alusport, and there was a dubious start stumbling against Caja Segovia and Puertollano, but from there on, except for Umacon Zaragoza, nobody was able to beat the Duda, and El Pozo finished the league in first with record points and goals scored.
