Club Deportivo Atlético Baleares is a Spanish football team based in Palma, Majorca, in the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. Founded on 27 May 1942, it currently plays in Segunda División B – Group 3, hosting games at the 1.500 capacity Camp de Futbol "Son Malferit".

History

Founded in 1942, Atlético Baleares reached Tercera División – the lowest rank in the national leagues – in the following year, going on to remain in that level for the better part of the following three decades. In the early years of the 50's and 60's, however, it did manage four appearances in Segunda División (1950–52, 1960–62), achieving two tenth-place finishes.

In 1977 Segunda División B was created as the new third division, and Atlético finished last in its first season in the category, subsequently playing mostly in the fourth level, but also being relegated to the regional leagues once.

In 2008 Atlético Baleares returned to division three, being immediately relegated back. The club had three coaches during the ill-fated campaign, including Francisco López Alfaro (played nearly 600 official games for Sevilla FC and RCD Espanyol) and Paco Soler (appeared in almost 400 La Liga matches with Atlético's neighbours RCD Mallorca); it promoted again for the 2010–11 season, after finishing champions in its group, as in 2008.
