Founded on July 23, 1930, Girona Futbol Club was established in the historic Catalan city of Girona, Spain. The football club's formation was largely thanks to the efforts of Ramon Soriguera i Roig, a local teacher who led a group of football enthusiasts passionate about creating a new team in their beloved city (source).
The origins of Girona FC can be traced back to several smaller clubs within the region that merged during the early years. These included Unió Esportiva Gironina and others like Valldan Club de Fútbol. The establishment of this new entity aimed to solidify football’s presence within the province and provide locals with a representative team they could take pride in.
Girona's first decades were marked by modest success as they oscillated between lower divisions in Spanish football. They experienced some notable achievements during this time; one such instance was their Copa del Rey run in 1945-46 when they reached the semifinals before losing against future champions RCD Espanyol (source).
In these initial years, standout players like Salvador Sunyer Vidal showcased their talents for Girona FC and earned regional recognition.
