In March 2017, the Association of Supporters and Shareholders of RCD Espanyol boosted a project for recovering the sporting sections of the club, but this time without any economic link with the football team. The new multi-sports club was created with the name of Seccions Deportives Espanyol (Sporting sections Espanyol).[2] Despite it was planned the volleyball section would start only playing in youth categories during the 2017–18 season, finally a women's senior team would compete in the regional Catalan third division.
