Reserve teams in the
Spain play in the same football pyramid as their senior team rather than a separate league. However, reserve teams cannot play in the same division as their senior team. Therefore, the team is ineligible for promotion to the division in which the first team competes. Reserve teams are also no longer permitted to enter the
Copa del Rey.
History
The club was founded in 1990 as Sociedad Deportiva Malagueña, the
reserve team of Club Atlético Malagueño. When the latter became
Málaga CF in 1994, it changed its name to Málaga CF "B" the following year.
The B-team followed the first one as it moved up the different divisions and, at the end of
2002–03 was promoted to the
second division where it would last three seasons, returning to the
fourth level in
2007.
