History

Móstoles Balompié was formed in 2016, as the club took the place of CDC Comercial (club founded in 1969 and federated in 1983), who was at the time a reserve team of RCD Carabanchel.[1] The club achieved promotion to the Preferente (fifth tier) in their first season, and promoted to Tercera División in 2019.

In late June 2019, Móstoles Balompié reached international attention after their president Javi Poves opted to change the club's name to Flat Earth FC, and publicly endorsed the conspiracy of Flat Earth.[2][3][4][5][6][7] The club also moved from Móstoles to Madrid.
