In2011–12,its first season inSegunda División B,Llagostera finished only one point out of the play-offs, instead qualifying for the next season'sCopa del Rey,where it reached the last 32 before a 5–1 aggregate loss to giantsValencia CF.^[4]The team was promoted to the professional leagues for the first time in 2014 with a 3–2 aggregate comeback win overReal Avilés^[5]and beatingGimnàstic de Tarragonaafter the overtime in the last round of theplayoffs.^[6]

As their stadium did not meet LFP criteria for home games, Llagostera had as its home stadium from 2014 to 2017 theEstadi Palamós Costa Brava,30 km from Llagostera, which holds 3,724 spectators. The club held its own in its first season inSegunda División,coming within four points of aplay-offberth. It was relegated back to the third tier towards after twoseasons.^[7]

On 30 June 2017, the club announced it would come back to the Estadi Municipal de Llagostera.^[8]One year later, Llagostera would be relegated toTercera División,after losing therelegation playoffsagainstIzarra,but bounced back immediately with victory againstClub Portugaletein June 2019.^[9]
