The 2011–12 Segunda División season (known as the Liga Adelante for sponsorship reasons) was the 81st since its establishment. The first matches of the season were played on 26 August 2011 after the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE) called a strike,[1] the regular league ended on 3 June 2012, while the entire season ended on 16 June 2012 with the promotion play-off finals.

The first goal of the season was scored by Xabier Etxeita, who scored a 9th-minute goal for Elche against Girona in the early kick-off. The first red card of the season was given to Richi from Girona in their opening game against Elche CF. The first hat-trick was scored by Joselu in the match between Villarreal B and Gimnàstic de Tarragona.

Teams

Deportivo de La Coruña, Hércules CF and UD Almería are the teams which were relegated from La Liga the previous season. Deportivo La Coruña relegated after twenty years in La Liga, Hércules made their immediate return to the second level after just one season in the top division, while Almería ended a four-year tenure in La Liga. Real Betis were promoted after two consecutive seasons in the second level, Rayo Vallecano after eight years in lower divisions and Granada CF after playing in lower divisions for 35 years.

The teams which were relegated the previous season were UD Salamanca, CD Tenerife, SD Ponferradina and Albacete Balompié. These four were replaced by Real Murcia (group 4 champions and 2ªB champions), CE Sabadell (group 3 champions and 2ªB runners-up), CD Alcoyano and CD Guadalajara.

Fair Play award

This award is given annually since 1999 to the team with the best fair play during the season. This ranking takes into account aspects[7] such as cards, suspension of matches, audience behaviour and other penalties. This section not only aims to know this aspect, but also serves to break the tie in teams that are tied in all the other rules: points, head-to-head, goal difference and goals scored.
