Encyclopedia
Hércules Club de Fútbol, S.A.D. (ˈerkules) is a Spanish football team based in Alicante
, in the autonomous community of Valencia
. Founded in 1922, it currently plays in the Spanish second division
, and holds home games at the Estadio José Rico Pérez
, which seats 30,000 spectators.
in 1935–36, Hércules would play sporadically in the category for the next forty years, playing mainly in the second division
but going as low as Tercera División
. From 1961–69, neighbours Alicante CF
acted as its feeder club
.
After a ten-year spell in the topflight, encompassing 12 seasons in the 1970s/80s, the club only returned again in 1996–97; though finally relegated, it managed two remarkable comeback wins over FC Barcelona
, which ultimately handed over the league title to Real Madrid
.
In 2004–05, after five years in the third division

into third place. In the last round, a 2–0 win at relegation-threatened Real Unión
guaranteed the promotion, with the 4–0 win of Betis against Levante UD
eventually counting for nothing (all three teams – Levante, Hércules and Betis – ended with the same number of points).
In 2010–11
, one year, three months and 19 days after FC Barcelona
's last home defeat in the league, Hércules recorded a shock 2–0 win at the Camp Nou
, thanks to a brace from Paraguay
an Nelson Valdez
. Barça had won their last 11 home matches, scored at least three times in each of their last six league fixtures and were protecting a 17-game unbeaten streak. Amazingly, however, this was the Alicante outfit’s third successive win over the Catalan
side, having won both meetings in their last league campaign 14 years ago. After a solid first round of 19 matches, the team slumped in the table, eventually ranking in 19th position for an immediate relegation back.
