Due to the high deposit requirements of La Liga, the club overcame a crisis in 2014 through global crowdfunding, with Chinese fans becoming its second-largest group of overseas shareholders. Eibar has cultivated famous players such as Xavi Alonso and David Silva, and the current head coach is Unai Luis Mendilibar. The team is continuously adjusting its lineup, including signing several new players such as Japanese defensive midfielder Hashimoto Ken, and is actively preparing for the Segunda División.
