Vélez Club de Fútbol is a Spanish football team is located in the Municipality of Vélez-Málaga, capital of the Axarquía region, within the Province of Málaga and the Community of Andalusia, Spain. Although there is evidence that in 1918 football was already played in the city with ephemeral teams that served as the embryo of what would later become Vélez CF, the club was not founded until 1922, where it would be participating in friendly matches in Malaga. It was not until 1928 when Vélez CF was officially discharged from the Southern Regional Federation. After the national contest and reorganised the federative entity, it would return and register in May 1940.
