CV Kiele Socuéllamos Women

Promotion to the top flight came in one season for CV Kiele Socuéllamos: the Superliga 2 title and the Copa de la Princesa both arrived in 2018/19, sending a club not yet four years old into Superliga Femenina. Three seasons on, the run to the Copa de la Reina semi-finals in 2021/22, followed by consecutive third-place finishes in the competition, showed the promotion was no one-off, and a place in the CEV European competition in 2022/23 carried the club beyond the national stage altogether.

El Kiele, as the club is known locally after its sponsor, plays in front of no more than 500 at Pabellón Gran Gaby, a capacity cut to 100 for a season under COVID-19 restrictions. Socuéllamos has no other club at this level to provide a rival, so the fixtures that matter most are decided by table position rather than geography.

The club was founded in 2015. Diana Sánchez joined two years later as captain and became the player most associated with the club's rise, a Spanish international. Marina Saucedo has since taken over as captain and setter, running the team from the position that shapes a volleyball side most directly.
