Agrupación Deportiva Alcorcón S.A.D. is a football club from Spain, located in Alcorcón within the Madrid region. Founded in 1971, the team currently competes in the Primera Federación and plays its home games at the Estadio Municipal de Santo Domingo, which has a seating capacity of 5,100.
History
Alcorcón was formed on 20 July 1971 by Dionisio Muñoz Jerez. For the initial thirty years, the club oscillated between the regional leagues and the fourth division. Their first official match took place on 8 September 1971 against Atlético Madrid's youth squad, resulting in a 2–0 defeat. The 2000–01 campaign marked Alcorcón's debut in Segunda División B, where they finished in 12th place and consistently held mid-table rankings in the following years. During the 2003–04 season, under the guidance of coach Raúl González, the team achieved a 10th-place finish in Segunda División B.
In the 2008–09 season, Alcorcón secured third position during the regular league phase, earning qualification for their inaugural promotion play-offs. They overcame Sant Andreu and Alcoyano but were ultimately defeated by Real Unión with a 3–1 aggregate score in the final stage.
2009–10 Copa del Rey
On 27 October 2009, Alcorcón recorded the most remarkable triumph in its history by defeating La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid 4–0 at home during the first leg of the Copa del Rey round of 32. This match represented their first official encounter against a top-tier team, featuring nine international players in Real Madrid’s starting lineup.
In the return leg on 10 November at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Alcorcón lost 1–0 but advanced with a 4–1 aggregate score. Their cup run ended in the subsequent round after a narrow 3–2 aggregate loss to Racing de Santander.
From 2010 onward
Following their famous victory known as Alcorconazo, Alcorcón earned promotion to Segunda División during the 2009–10 season by winning play-offs against Pontevedra (3–0 aggregate) and Ontinyent (4–3 aggregate). While competing in Segunda División, they reached promotion play-offs twice but fell short—losing to Real Valladolid in the 2012 final and Girona during the 2013 semi-finals.
The club reached the Copa del Rey quarter-finals for the first time in 2017 after prevailing over Espanyol via penalty shoot-out but were eliminated by Alavés. In the 2017–18 season, they narrowly escaped relegation by finishing 13th and maintained their second-tier status with a 14th-place finish in 2018–19.
In June 2019, ownership changed hands when Roland Duchâtelet sold Alcorcón to an investment group led by American businessman David Blitzer for an estimated €13 million. In April 2022, following a defeat against Cartagena, Alcorcón was relegated to the third tier after twelve consecutive years competing in Segunda División. For the 2022/2023 campaign, AD Alcorcón secured a sponsorship agreement with Hacksaw Gaming.
On 24 June 2023, AD Alcorcón achieved promotion back to Segunda División by overcoming CD Castellón with a 2–1 aggregate victory in the Primera Federación play-offs; however, they were relegated immediately during the subsequent 2023–24 season.
