History

Erandio club was incorporated in early 1915, though the team had been playing informally since around 1913. It played in the North Regional League, in the Second Division, until 1918. In 1916 the club acquired its own land for its pitch and opened Ategorri field in 1918.
Between 1922 and 1927, the club had a difficult time and descended to Segunda División B, but in the early 1930s it performed well in the amateur leagues, claiming regional championships and performing well nationally. After the civil war, Spanish football and the club saw restructuring and reformation. In this period, Telmo Zarraonandia played for them. The club won championships regularly in the early forties, and by 1949 it reached the Spanish Second Division. At the end of the 1949–1950 season, however, the club descended from the Second Division and also lost their field. Erandio played in borrowed fields until it opened New Ategorri field on 13 October 1967.[1]
For most of the seventies, Erandio played in the Regional Preferente. In the 1980–1981 season, the Eerandio reached the highest point of its history achieving the ascension to Segunda B. The seventh place achieved during their 1981-1982 debut marked their best classification in the new category. The team, however, was unable to maintain its performance and was relegated to Third Division in 1984–1985. Since 1985, the club has stayed low, remaining in the Third Division (1985-1988/1992-1994), the División de Honor (1988-1992/1994-), and the Preferente Territorial from 2007 to 2011.
In October 2010, an assembly approved the municipalization of all of the club's properties, notably the historic Ategorri Soccer Field.[2] The team was unable to afford the maintenance of the field due to low attendance.

After three seasons in the División de Honor, Erandio during the 2013–2014 season finished in second position and promoting against Tolosa and San Inazio (Álava) winning said promotion and occupying the vacancy of the Laudio, which descended due to being unable to pay dues to the federation.[3]
Erandio, after twenty years, in the 2014–2015 season competed in its centenary in the Group IV of the Tercera División.[4][5][6] In that same season after a bad run of results, Erandio Club descended to the División de Honor. At the end of the season, a game of veterans was played commemorative of the club centenary against a veteran team of the Athletic Club. Among which was players like Imanol, Armando, Lakabeg, Casas, Ocio, J. Etxeberria, J. González y Gabilondo.[7][8] On 27 August 2015, the club published a book with the history of 100 years of the club.[9][10] On 7 December 2015, the TV show "El día después" of Canal+ rebroadcast a report of the centenary of the club.[11][12]
