The history of football in the city of Olot dated back to 1902, when the first games were played.[3] There were two clubs in the beginning of the century, Olot Deportivo and Sport Club Olotí. Both were founded in 1912, and disappeared four years later.[4] UE Olot was founded in 1921, but it was registered in the Catalan Football Federation only on May 14, 1922 under the name of Olot Foot-ball Club.[5] Antoni Mota became its first president and the club's home ground was Camp de l'Estació.[6]
