History

Inter Club d'Escaldes was founded in Escaldes-Engordany in 1991. The club was a founding member of Primera Divisió in 1995, the Premier League of Andorra. The club was playing since then in the top flight until April 2015 when the team was relegated after finishing 8th in the regular league.[1] The club returned in Primera Divisió after two seasons, in May 2017.[2]

El Inter finished the 1999–2000 and 2000–01 Primera Divisió seasons in third place, and became runners-up in Copa Constitució during the 2001–02 season, losing 2–0 against FC Lusitanos. But it was not until 2020 that the club won its first league title and its first domestic cup title.

After becoming champion in the 2019–20 Primera Divisió season, the club qualified for the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League, starting from a preliminary qualifying round. This was the first time in the club's history that El Inter participated in a UEFA European tournament.[3] The club maintained a decent record of home European games, having beaten Hibernian 2–1 in 2023, FK Velež Mostar 5–1 in 2024 and FCSB 2–1 in 2025. The club won the league championship again in the 2020–21, 2021–22, 2024–25 and 2025–26 seasons.

After beating Kosovan side FC Drita 4–2 on penalties in the play-off round of the 2026–27 UEFA Conference League, they became the first ever Andorran club to qualify for the main phase of a European competition.[4]

Colours and badge

In its beginnings the club had a strong support of Construccions Modernes, a company in the construction sector, to the point that its initials CM remained in its crest until 2019 . Due to team colours, blue and black, the team and fans are referenced as blau-i-negres.[5]
