Real Murcia women clinch double promotion

Real Murcia’s women just pulled off the kind of season clubs talk about for years. The first team is heading to Segunda RFEF. The reserve team is heading to Tercera RFEF. And the bigger point is not just that both went up — it’s that they did it with the kind of dominance that changes what a club can realistically aim for next. (murciaplaza.com) ### What actually happened? The first team, Real Murcia Femenino, sealed promotion to Segunda RFEF after finishing as champions of Group 13 in Tercera RFEF. The reserve side then added the second half of the story by winning Preferente Autonómica and securing promotion to Tercera RFEF. So next season the club’s top two women’s teams will both be playing a tier higher. (murciaplaza.com) ### Why is the first-team promotion such a big deal? Because this was not a normal “win your group and go up” setup. In the 2025-26 Tercera RFEF women’s structure, there were 18 group champions, but only the best champion across all 18 groups ea(murciaplaza.com)cient among those champions. Basically — they didn’t just top their group, they topped the whole national pile of group winners. (realmurcia.es) ### How dominant were they? Very. Real Murcia finished with 21 wins and one draw from 22 matches. They ended on 64 points, seven clear of second-placed SMX Athletic Club de Murcia. The goal numbers are the part that really jumps out: 133 scored, only three conceded. That is not just promotion form. That is steamroller form. (murciaplaza.com) ### Was there one result that sealed it? Yes — the club’s own coverage highlights a 17-0 win over Ciudad de Murcia on April 26, 2026 as the decisive final push. Real Murcia needed a huge margin on the last day while also tracking rival results in the race for the best-champion spot. They got the blowout they needed, and that turned a great season into a direct promotion. (realmurcia.es) ### What about the reserve team? The reserve side made the story much bigger. Murcia Plaza says the filial clinched Preferente Autonómica two rounds early and then beat CD Alguazas 5-1 on Saturday to underline it. That team reached 58 points, seven ahead of Yeclano Deportivo Grupo SIM, with 19 wi(realmurcia.es)— the B team earned its jump too. (murciaplaza.com) ### Why does having both teams move up matter? Because promotions stack. The first team gets tougher games, more visibility, and a place in the third tier of the national pyramid. The reserve team moving into Tercera RFEF matters just as much fo(murciaplaza.com)ween academy-level football and the top side, Murcia now has a cleaner ladder. That is how women’s programs start to sustain themselves instead of relying on one standout generation. (murciaplaza.com) ### Why is this especially notable at Real Murcia? There’s an awkward contrast here. Murcia Plaza points out that the men’s side has spent four seasons in Primera RFEF without getting back to Segunda División. So while the men are still stuck ch(murciaplaza.com)ievement extra weight inside Murcia itself — it is not just good news, it is the clearest sporting success the badge has had lately. (murciaplaza.com) ### Bottom line? This is bigger than one promotion party. Real Murcia’s women now have a first team in Segunda RFEF and a reserve team in Tercera RFEF — and both got there on merit, not luck. For a club trying to build a real women’s football structure, that is the hard part. They just did it.
