Córdoba CB

Córdoba CB, also known as Cajasol Coto Córdoba CB for sponsorship reasons, is a basketball club based in Córdoba, Spain. The team plays in the Primera FEB. It home arena is the Palacio Municipal de Deportes de Vista Alegre.

It was founded on 14 June 2022 as the result of the merger of the local teams Virgen del Carmen and Ciudad de Córdoba with the aim to play in the Liga EBA or take the leap to compete directly in the LEB Plata Finally, it was registered in the Primera Nacional.

In 2023, it accepted one of the vacant berths to play in the Liga EBA. On May 10, 2024, it achieved the promotion to the Segunda FEB, after finishing first in its group of the promotion playoffs, after beating Movistar Estudiantes B and Fundación Bilbao Basket.

After the much-missed 1990s, when Cajasur Córdoba fought to be promoted to the ACB league, and the last time a Córdoba club participated in the professional basketball league in 2010, the season 2024/2025 begins in LEB Plata with a clear objective: to remain in the same category next year.

The club secured its mathematical survival by winning away at Teknei Bizkaia Zornotza, a direct rival in the battle to avoid relegation. The team enjoyed its best moments in the first two months of the competition. The squad, then coached by Alfredo Gálvez, was in peak physical condition. As it also had a long rotation, it ended up exhausting many of its rivals in the last quarter. The team was in second place on the eighth day. With a record of six wins and two losses, it had the same number of wins as the leader, Cáceres Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Staying up seemed to be on track.

Everything changed in December. The team hit a slump that led them to lose seven of the eight games they played in December and January. The defeat against Clínica Ponferrada SDP led to the dismissal of coach Alfredo Gálvez and the promotion of Nacho Pastor from assistant coach to head coach. A 5–5 record since the arrival of the coach trained at El Carmen meant that the objective was achieved with one game to spare.

It was a season of ups and downs and learning for a club making its debut in the category, which ended with the achievement of staying up, the initial objective with which it had started the competition.

Córdoba CB completed a remarkable achievement by securing promotion to the Primera FEB after successfully defending the 30-point advantage they had built against Amics del Bàsquet Castelló. Having won the first leg 105–75, the Córdoba side suffered a 24-point defeat (83–59) in the return match, but it was enough to be crowned league champions and seal promotion through the champions' play-off.
