Club Esportiu Europa is the women's football section of CE Europa, a Catalan football club based in the city of Barcelona, with close links to the Vila de Gràcia. Founded in 2001, its first team currently plays in Group 1 of the Segunda Federación, the third tier of Spanish football. Moreover, it disposes of 10 other women's teams as of the 2024-25 season, including both senior teams and youth teams.[3] The first team plays its home matches at the Nou Sardenya, with a capacity for 4,000 spectators.
During most of its history, Europa's first team competed in the second division of Spanish women's football. However, in 2024, the team got relegated to the Segunda Federación.[4]
Moreover, CE Europa is considered one of the pioneers of women's football in Catalonia because of its high number of teams, the equality of treatment of its women's and men's sections, the measures that the club undertakes to promote women's football, and the attention the women's teams receive by its supporters.[5][6][7]
