Club Esportiu Europa B is a Catalan football team based in the city of Barcelona, with close links to the Vila de Gràcia, in the autonomous community of Catalonia, Spain. Founded in 2012, they are the reserve team of CE Europa, and play in the Tercera Federación – Group 5.

History

In 2002, Europa reached an agreement with UE Caprabo in the Preferent Territorial, converting this club in the reserve team of Europa. The club's name changed to UE Caprabo Europa B, but maintained its distinctive identity. The first notable success was the promotion to the Primera Catalana in 2006.

Even though it seemed that the club would be integrated entirely in the structure of Europa, the collaboration stopped in 2007, coinciding with a relegation.[2] Later, UE Caprabo was absorbed by AE Josep Maria Gené.

In 2012–13, CE Europa B was born, a reserve team that formed part of Europa from the beginning.[3] The team started to compete in the Quarta Catalana, the lowest competition possible. In 2022–23, Europa B achieved promotion to the Lliga Elit. In 2023–24, the team achieved promotion to Tercera Federación, achieving the team's entry into Spanish professional football starting with the 2024–25 season.[4]
