Club Deportivo Binéfar hail from the province of Huesca, some 75km south-east of the provincial capital, and 100km east of the Aragonsé capital, Zaragoza. Founded in 1922, it was one of the founding members of the Aragón Football Federation. The club played at a variety of grounds in those early years, such as the Campo del Cuadrao, Campo de Toyas & the Campo de la Aigüera. The Civil War inflicted widespread destruction on many urban areas in Aragón, and Binéfar was no exception. Whilst CD Binéfar resumed footballing activities in 1940, it was not until 1946 that they found a new, permanent home in the Campo El Segalar.
El Segalar was situated on the north-western edge of town, close to the main railway line that links Huesca to Lleida. It played host to the club’s most successful era, when, over a 21-year period, it spent 13 seasons in Segunda B. CD Binéfar recorded four top-ten finishes during that period, with a best position of 7th in the 1983-84 season. The club’s last season in the third tier came at the end of the 2002-03 season, when they finished bottom of Grupo II, some 21 points from safety. El Segalar remained home until 2008, and had become encircled by housing and the town’s sports pavilion & swimming pool. The ground featured a full-length stand of six rows of green & white seats on its western side, a shallow covered terrace at the northern end which backed onto Calle Ordesa, and a fairly substantial open terrace at the southern end. There was just a thin strip of hard standing on the east side due to the proximity of the municipal sports pavilion. CD Binéfar played its last match at El Segalar on 15 May 2008, beating Figueruelas 2-1 to avoid relegation from the Tercera. Today, the pitch is parkland, yet the old southern terrace and the raised floor of the stand, minus its roof, can still be seen.
CD Binéfar played its first match at its new home, Los Olmos, on 7 September 2008, losing 1-3 to CD Zuera. Their poor form from the previous season followed them to their new home, and a miserable season ended with the club dropping to the Aragón Regional Preferente for the first time in over 30 years. They returned to the Tercera at the first attempt, and apart from another season-long stay in the Regional Preferente in the 2014-15 season, they remained in the Tercera until the Spanish Leagues were restructured in the summer of 2021. Decent form in the truncated league structure saw CD Binéfar reach the playoff semi-finals for a place in the new Segunda Federación. However, a 3-2 defeat to SD Huesca B saw the club consigned to the Tercera Federación for the 2021-22 season. CD Binéfar returned to the playoffs a year later but was unable to overcome the challenge of CF Illueca.
Los Olmos is a sports complex and park area located to the north of the town, featuring an athletics track, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a BMX track. The football stadium features a full-length, raised cantilevered stand with a capacity of 1,250, of which 1,032 are seated. Beneath the seating deck lie the changing facilities, a gym and a media room. Raised banks behind both goals allow scope for the capacity to be raised to 5,000. The stadium cost the local council €2.4 million, an impressive investment for a town with a population of just 10,000. The stadium has yet to rekindle any of the spirit that El Segalar had in abundance when CD Binéfar ruffled feathers back in the old days of Segunda B.
