Getafe Club de Futbol is a Spanish Primera División football club based in Getafe, a town in the metropolitan area of South Madrid, founded in 1983.

History

In recent seasons, Getafe were promoted into the La Liga Spanish top division at the end of the 2003/04 season by finishing second in the spainish second division. They were tipped by many to be relegated straight back down the following season and at first the chance of relegation appeared to be likely with Getafe having a bad start to the 2004/05 season, hanging around reguarly in the relegation zone.

But a big improvement in form suddenly came along during the middle and towards the end of the campaign, with good results being produced, enough to eventually ensure an excellent 13th place in the table for Getafe, as they survived relegation comfortably with games to spare. They were the only promoted team that stayed up that season, as both Levante UD and CD Numancia were relegated straight back down. After a successful season, Getafe hope for more of the same in the upcoming 2005/06 La Liga campaign.
