Força Lleida Club Esportiu is a professional basketball club based in Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. Founded in 2012, the club was established with the objective of maintaining Lleida's long-standing basketball tradition and creating a modern, locally rooted professional project. Its formation followed the cessation of professional activity by Lleida Bàsquet, and Força Lleida immediately took a place in Spain's second-tier professional competition, LEB Oro. The club has developed from a second-tier project into a member of Spain's highest basketball division. After more than a decade competing in LEB Oro, Força Lleida achieved a historic promotion to the Liga ACB at the end of the 2023–24 season. This promotion returned top-level Spanish basketball to Lleida and represented a major milestone in the club's development. Força Lleida plays its home games at Espai Fruita Barris Nord, located on Avinguda de Prat de la Riba in Lleida. The club's official contact information identifies this venue as both its sporting home and the location of its offices. The organisation combines professional basketball with an extensive youth-development structure. Its academy and grassroots programme currently includes 32 teams and more than 370 players, demonstrating the club's commitment to developing young basketball talent in the region. Its mission specifically includes promoting basketball through the training and development of boys and girls within its base structure while bringing elite national basketball to Lleida. Força Lleida also positions itself as a community organisation rather than solely a professional first team. The club's official history highlights social, educational and sports-promotion initiatives designed to integrate the organisation into Lleida's cultural and associative environment. Its stated vision is to build an inclusive and participatory project involving supporters, institutions, businesses, clubs and residents of the region. The club's men's first team currently competes in the Liga ACB and has undergone naming changes associated with sponsorship. For the 2026–27 season, the men's ACB team is named iLERNA Lleida, following iLERNA becoming the principal sponsor. The underlying club remains Força Lleida Club Esportiu. Alongside the men's professional programme, Força Lleida maintains women's and youth basketball activities, creating a broader sporting pathway for players in the Lleida area. Its combination of elite competition, academy development and community engagement has established it as an important basketball institution in Catalonia.
