Club Baloncesto Almansa, also known as Afanion CB Almansa for sponsorship reasons, is a professional basketball club based in Almansa, Castilla-La Mancha, that currently plays in LEB Oro, the second tier of Spanish basketball.

History

In 2017, CB Almansa promotes to Liga EBA^[1] and one year later, just in their debut season, the club reaches the LEB Plata by winning the three games of the promotion stage played at home.^[2]

The success of the club would continue with a third consecutive promotion, thus reaching the LEB Oro, second tier, on 25 May 2019. Almansa played in LEB Oro until 2023, when it resigned to its place for playing again in LEB Plata. However, it ended the 2023–24 season by being relegated to Liga EBA.

In June 2024, CB Almansa announced its dissolution due to its economical trouble.^[3]
