From then on, it went through different divisions and categories, being close to promotion to the second division in 1964. 

Currently, the institution competes in the second RFEF, which is the fourth division of soccer in Spain. In the 22/23 season they finished in 12th place with 45 points, which was enough to remain in the category with the objective of fighting for promotion the following season. Alzira’s stadium is the Luis Soñer Picó and has a capacity for 5,000 spectators.
