History

The club was founded on 1 September 2013 under the name of DiTT Redmóvil Asociación Deportiva, being registered in the Football Federation of the Region of Murcia for the 2014–15 season. In 2016, the club was renamed into Racing Murcia FC, after being in the Preferente Autonómica.

In 2020, Racing Murcia achieved promotion to Tercera División, while also qualifying for the Copa del Rey for the first time in their history.[1] Funded by the Racing City Group, the club signed several former footballers to their organizational chart, such as Edwin Congo, and Paul Pogba's brother Mathias Pogba as a player.[2]

In November 2020, the club announced the signing of Joleon Lescott as "the first star signing" for their cup match against La Liga side Levante UD,[3] with the player later stating through his Twitter account that he was "never close" on signing for the club.
