Futbol Club Vilafranca is a Spanish football team based in Vilafranca del Penedès, Catalonia. Founded in 1904, it currently plays in Lliga Elit, holding home matches at Camp Municipal with a capacity for 5,000 seats.[4]

History

The club was founded in 1904, being one of the oldest football clubs in Spain.[5] In August 2020, the club became the farm team of Lleida Esportiu.[6]

In May 2021, Vilafranca achieved a first-ever promotion to Segunda División RFEF (which replaced the old Segunda División B),[7] but as Lleida failed to achieve promotion to Primera División RFEF, Vilafranca became ineligible for promotion.[8]
