AD Alcorcón Crest History
For much of its history, the AD Alcorcón used a traditional heraldic-style crest incorporating elements associated with the city of Alcorcón. The badge featured a shield design displaying symbols linked to the municipality, together with the club’s distinctive yellow and blue colours. These colours became a defining feature of the club’s identity and helped establish the nickname “Los Alfareros” (“The Potters”), reflecting Alcorcón’s historic ceramic and pottery traditions.
A significant redesign took place in 2016, when the club simplified its crest as part of a broader modernization of its visual identity. The objective was to create a cleaner, more streamlined graphic system that could function effectively both as a traditional football crest and as a modern trademark across digital media, merchandising and commercial applications.
AD Alcorcón Club History
Agrupación Deportiva Alcorcón S.A.D., commonly known as Alcorcón, was founded in 1971 by Dionisio Muñoz Jerez
For much of its early history, Alcorcón competed in the regional and lower national divisions of Spanish football. Operating with modest resources, the club established itself as an important sporting institution within the local community and gradually climbed through the Spanish football pyramid.
Nicknamed “Los Alfareros” (“The Potters”), the club reflects Alcorcón’s historic connection to pottery and ceramics, an industry that played a significant role in the development of the town. The club’s traditional yellow and blue colours have become closely associated with both the team and the city it represents.
Alcorcón plays its home matches at the Estadio Municipal de Santo Domingo, which opened in 1999. Although relatively modest in size compared to the stadiums of Spain’s largest clubs, Santo Domingo has become known as a difficult venue for visiting teams and a source of great local pride.
The defining moment in AD Alcorcón’s history came during the 2009–10 Copa del Rey. In one of the greatest upsets in Spanish football history, Alcorcón defeated Real Madrid 4–0 in the first leg of their cup tie. The victory stunned the football world and became known as the “Alcorconazo.” Although Real Madrid won the return leg 1–0, Alcorcón progressed 4–1 on aggregate, earning international recognition and securing a permanent place in Spanish football folklore.
The success of the Alcorconazo significantly raised the club’s profile and coincided with a period of rapid progress. Shortly afterwards, Alcorcón achieved promotion to the Segunda División for the first time in its history. The club subsequently established itself as a competitive force in Spain’s second tier, regularly competing against clubs with far greater financial resources and historical pedigree.
