History
Founded in 1955, they were promoted to the Liga ASOBAL in May 1989.[1] In 1992-93 they were relegated, but promoted again 2 years later.[1] Afterwards they established themselves as a strong first league team. In 1999 they won their first title; the Spanish Cup.[1] They won their first Spanish Championship in 2001–02. They also won the 2000-01 EHF Champions League, beating FC Barcelona in the final.[2]
In the early 2000's they continued to be one of the top Spanish teams, winning another league title in 2004-05. In the 2008-09 season the team started to fall behind, when they were left by their sponsor 'Portland'.[1]
In July 2012, the team resigned from the Liga ASOBAL for the 2012–13 season due to the failure to find a new sponsor, being demoted two divisions (to Primera Estatal).[3][4] After an uncertain few weeks, its spot in Primera Estatal was transferred to BM Ardoi, therefore, the club no longer owned any sporting team.[5]
In April 2013, when the bankruptcy process finished, SDC San Antonio was officially liquidated.[6]
