At first it contained 29 clubs from 17 towns in Murcia and Albacete. In 1928 the territorial scope of the new federation was extended to cover most of the clubs in the province of Alicante. It further expanded in 1932 to cover the province of Almeria, and in 1933 those in the regions of Baza Granada and La Sagra.
