Moreover, Europa B is active in the Tercera Federación, the fifth tier, and the first U-19 team participates in the División de Honor, the highest category in Spain.

[4] The club is best known for its football team who in 1929, along with city neighbours FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol, were among the 10 founder members of La Liga.

[5] Currently, Europa's main rival is UE Sant Andreu, with whom it disputes the Pla de Barcelona derby.

Even though the motive is unsure, the most accepted theory is that the shirt has been inspired by that of Birmingham City FC, a team that had visited Barcelona some years earlier.

The building is located in the Vila de Gràcia, between the streets of Sardenya (from which it has its name), Camèlies, and Pau Alsina.

Since 2001, Europa manages the Camp de l'Àliga, a municipality-owned stadium built in 1991 in the District of Gràcia, in the neighborhood of Vallcarca i els Penitents.

The foundational act occurred in the already disappeared Bar Bodega La Roca, at the Carrer de Sicília, 290, in Barcelona.

After finishing level on points with FC Barcelona, they then beat them 1–0 in a tiebreaker in the Camp de Vista Alegre, Girona.

Subsequently, Europa was the representative team of Catalonia in the 1923 Copa del Rey, competing with the champions from other parts of Spain.

In the Copa del Rey final at the Les Corts stadium, the club lost 1–0 to Athletic Bilbao.

One week later, Europa received Arenas Club de Getxo in Barcelona and won 5–2, thanks to the competition's first pure hat-trick by Manuel Cros.

After the disappearance of the Catalan Championship, Europa was placed in the Primera A for the 1940–41 season, a competition directly inferior to the Tercera División.

In 1950–51, Europa played a marvellous season and achieved promotion to the Tercera División, the third tier of Spanish football at the time.

During these years, considered the second golden era of the club, Europa's best season was 1963–64 when they finished third, very close to promotion to the Primera División.

Another remarkable feat was beating Real Zaragoza with los Cinco Magníficos in the 1966–67 Copa del Rey, even though the Aragonese team was the defending champion.

After the promotion, Europa finished many seasons in the lower part of the classification and could not avoid a second relegation to the highest regional league in 1986.

It was too late to contribute to the battle against relegation (as a matter of fact, Europa would only start to use the new stadium in the next season), but it turned out to be a boost for the club in the following years.

In the final, played in the stadium of CE L'Hospitalet, Europa defeated the first team of FC Barcelona by 3–1 in a historic match.

In the final, disputed in FC Barcelona's Mini Estadi, Europa faced Barça yet again and drew 1–1, winning the penalty series (3–4).

The youth academy kept on growing until reaching a number of over 30 teams, facilitated by the opening of a second stadium: the Camp de l'Àliga.

The club qualified four times in a row for the playoffs for promotion to the Segunda División B, which could be achieved after surviving three rounds against teams from other groups.

The regular season was suspended and the fourth highest-placed teams, including Europa, were placed in a small tournament for promotion.

The opening of the Nou Sardenya, the Camp de l'Àliga, and the implementation of artificial grass in the latter stimulated the growth of the youth academy.

Europa played the first ever organised basketball match in Spain, on 8 December 1922 in the Camp del Carrer de Sicília, beating Laietà BC by 8–2.

After the elections on 23 April 2023,[16] the current board of directors is formed by the following people: Source:[17] Europa has known a total of 35 presidents, two of which repeated a term.

[20] The rivalry has been maintained alive since the present, especially among the supporters groups of both clubs: the Eskapulats (Europa) and the Desperdicis (Sant Andreu).

The Vila de Gràcia Trophy is a friendly football tournament organised annually by Europa since 1995, which coincided with the inauguration of the Nou Sardenya.

Generally, the friendly is played on 15 August, coinciding with the celebrations of the Festa Major de Gràcia and serving as the start of the footballing season of the club.

[30] Europa has a clearly-defined political profile since the launch of the DIEM NO campaign, in which the club declared itself formally antifascist, antiracist, antihomophobic and antisexist.

[34][35][36] Other territories that are considered to have ties to Europa are the Baix Guinardó, the Camp d'en Grassot, Sant Gervasi, la Salut, Vallcarca i els Penitents, and Can Baró.
