After the disappearance of the historic SD Gimnástica Arandina, in 1987 local football was represented by Unión Deportiva Aranda (founded in 1983). On 29 July 1987, on the assembly it was decided to withdraw this club and employ part of its most prominent players along with new ones to form a new club, Arandina Club de Fútbol.[4]
Spanish teams are limited to three players without EU citizenship. The squad list includes only the principal nationality of each player; several non-European players on the squad have dual citizenship with an EU country. Also, players from the ACP countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific that are signatories to the Cotonou Agreement are not counted against non-EU quotas due to the Kolpak ruling.
