UD San Pedro

San Pedro de Alcántara sits inside the municipality of Marbella, and when local footballers there wanted a club of their own in 1974, they built one that has stayed close to the town ever since: Unión Deportiva San Pedro, still known around the ground as the Sampedreño as much as by its own name. The Rojinegros tag came with the red and black shirts.

Those fortunes peaked between 1995 and 1999, when a runners-up finish in the Tercera División sent San Pedro into the Segunda División B, the third tier of Spanish football, before relegation dropped them back down. The Primera Regional de Andalucía title in 2010–11 restored them to the Tercera División, and by 2014–15 they were third in their group and into the promotion play-offs, only to fall to CD Llosetense at the final hurdle.

The cups have carried the club further than the league in recent years. A run to the 2024 Copa Andalucía final, lost to Chiclana CF, still opened the door to the Copa del Rey, where San Pedro knocked out CD Ceuta 6 de Junio before La Liga side Celta de Vigo ended the run 5–1. They went one better, beating Arenas de Armilla on penalties to win the Copa Federación de Andalucía Oriental and earn a place in the national phase of the Copa Federación.
