Club Deportivo Trinidad was formed in 1928 and was founded by the Santísima Trinidad Cyclist Group, founded by Mr. José Díaz and Nemesio Fernández. The club’s history has been highlighted with moves to several locations to try and find a permanent home.
The team started out playing on a field between where Carrer de Mireia and Carrer de Finestrelles are now located. The field was built on for housing, with the club forced to develop another site, where Ramón y Cajal School now stands on Carrer Mare de Déu de Lorda.
A further move came once again owing to local urbanisation; this time to where the entrance of the Trinitat Vella Metro station is now located. The venue was far from ideal, with a lamppost located in the middle of the pitch.
In 1959, Trinidad competed in the Catalana Categoría de Aficionados, finishing as runners-up after losing in the final against C.D.Calella.
The local football authorities didn’t permit a move to senior football at the ground, so Trinidad found themselves playing in several locations. A field was enlarged in 1962 by Baró de Viver so that the club could enter the regional football competition.
In 1967, the club was offered some land by the local Water Company between the railway and the Besos River. Trinidad would enjoy their greatest success at the venue as the team won promotion from Tercera Catalana to Segunda Catalana in 1974, the second tier of regional football.
Trinidad were on the move again in 1992 as they moved into a new facility at the Campo de Fútbol Municipal Trinitat Vella. In 2003, the team progressed to the Primera Catalana on their seventy-fifth anniversary.
The ground facilities continued to be upgraded with the inauguration of a seven-a-side pitch. Trinidad spent the next decade or so in the various regional divisions before emerging in Grupo 10 of the Tercera Catalana in 2014-15.
The club was switched to Grupo 11 for the following season, where they finished in fourth position; going on to put in two mid-table endings in the third tier of regional football before avoiding relegation through the playoffs in 2017-18. A much-improved fourth-place finish ensued twelve months later.
The 2020-21 season saw the club withdraw. When Trinidad returned to action, it was in the 2023-24 season, with the team being placed in Grupo XVII of Quarta Catalana, the tenth tier of Spanish, and fifth tier of Catalan football. They were then switched to Grupo XX for the 2024-25 campaign.
The goals of Tomas Garcia, with assistance from Mamdou Traore and Ibrahim Balde, led Trinidad to the title, with Tidiane Diao managing the side. The side was promoted to Tercera Catalana, playing in Grupo IX.
CD Trinidad will play in Tercera Catalana Grupo IX in the 2025-26 season.

For a full report, please click here. It was good to find posters advertising Trinidad matches inside the bar area at the stadium. They would probably become the main tenants once Besos Baron de Viver move to their own home.
