The Unió Esportiva Rubí is a football club in Rubí, Barcelona, which is currently playing in .
History On 30 June 1912, a group of young people in Rubí, after playing matches against clubs from Barcelona a month before, decided to form a football club that would represent the town. Their first match was played against a team from the neighboring town of Castellbisbal. The club was only formally created in 1917, when Barcelona-born businessman Joan Franch i Vilarnau (who was on vacation with his family in Rubí during the summer) proposed to formally create the club under the name Rubí Fútbol Club, which remained in effect until their dissolution in 1927. The club was refounded in 1932 with their current name: Unió Esportiva Rubí.
After the Civil War, the club started to feature in the Catalan Segunda Regional, playing in the regional leagues until 1991, when they achieved promotion to Tercera División. In the 1992–93 season, they achieved a first-ever promotion to Segunda División B after finishing third, but only remained in the category for one year before suffering relegation.
Back to the regional leagues in 1998, Rubí only returned to the fourth tier in 2011.
Controversy over the date of foundation and fake background In the past 30 years, the club has proposed several founding dates, many of them have been wrong, even claiming that the club was founded in 1902 and therefore was the centenary 2002. This theory was disproved by historian Josep Maria Freixes rubinense that through his historical research has shown that football rubinense origin and genesis of the club is dated 1912, which was recognized by the Consell Català for Sport (Catalan Sports Council) in 2005 Rectificando su error en 2003, que ratificaba que el Rubí fue fundado en 1902. - El 9 Esportiu 12/02/2005 as for the Catalan Football Federation in 2006. The club, however, kept between 2003 and 2011 to 1902 as its founding until the end of June 2011, when the institution was finally recognized in 1912 as its foundation and at the same time, confirming the year 2012 as his centennial celebration.
