Founded in 1903, its first men's team plays in the Segunda Federación – Group 3. Its first women's team is active in the Primera Divisió catalana, the sixth level, and its first men's team under 19 participates in the Liga Nacional Juvenil, the second tier. Moreover, the club has over 50 teams in its youth academy.[2] The club holds home games at the Estadi de la Nova Creu Alta.
The side has competed in national leagues since 1928, gaining its first promotion to the Segunda División in 1933 and then to La Liga in 1944. Sabadell's longest spell in the top flight was from 1965 to 1972, and their most recent one from 1986 to 1988. In total, Sabadell has played 14 seasons in the Primera División, which makes it the third Catalan club with the most seasons and points in the competition after FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol. Moreover, the club has reached one Copa del Rey final, which they lost 3–0 to Sevilla FC in 1935.
Sabadell has always known an intense rivalry with Terrassa FC, as both clubs are the strongest sides in the comarca Vallès Occidental. The Vallès derby is fueled by the rivalry between the cities of Sabadell and Terrassa and is known as one of the hottest derbies in Catalonia.
