History edit
Móstoles Balompié was formed in 2016, as the club took the place of CDC Comercial (club founded in 1969 and federated in 1983), who was at the time a reserve team of RCD Carabanchel.[1] The club achieved promotion to the Preferente (fifth tier) in their first season, and promoted to Tercera División in 2019.[citation needed]
In late June 2019, Móstoles Balompié reached international attention after their president Javi Poves opted to change the club's name to Flat Earth FC, and publicly endorsed modern flat Earth beliefs.[2][3][4][5][6][7] The club also moved from the Madrid suburbs of Móstoles to the city of Madrid.[citation needed]
In December 2020, Poves resigned from his president role.[8] The club was later renamed CD Elemental Madrid 2021.[citation needed]
On 6 July 2021, Flat Earth was bought out by CF Fuenlabrada and became their reserve team, being renamed CF Fuenlabrada Promesas and taking their place in the new Tercera División RFEF.[9] The club's former B-side, CF Fuenlabrada B, became the second reserve team.[citation needed]
