Futbol Club Vilafranca is a Spanish football team based in Vilafranca del Penedès, Catalonia. Founded in 1904, it currently plays in Lliga Elit, holding home matches at Camp Municipal with a capacity for 5,000 seats.

## History

The club was founded in 1904, being one of the oldest football clubs in Spain. In August 2020, the club became the farm team of Lleida Esportiu.
In May 2021, Vilafranca achieved a first-ever promotion to Segunda División RFEF (which replaced the old Segunda División B), but as Lleida failed to achieve promotion to Primera División RFEF, Vilafranca became ineligible for promotion.
