Girona FC have been relegated to Spain’s Second Division after drawing with Elche at Montilivi stadium in Girona. The result ends the club’s four-year spell in the top flight, according to Diari Catalunya.

The match at Montilivi confirmed Girona’s return to the lower tier of Spanish football. For supporters in Girona and across Catalonia, it marks a difficult end to a period that brought the club national attention after promotion four years ago.

Girona’s time in the First Division included both strong performances and setbacks. The club had established itself among Spain’s elite sides, but this season’s results left it unable to stay up.

Attention now turns to the next campaign, with the club expected to focus on rebuilding the squad and planning for a return to the First Division. The management task will include keeping fan support steady as Girona prepare for life in the Second Division.
