Reserve teams in Spain play in the same league system as their senior team rather than a separate league. Reserve teams, however, cannot play in the same division as their senior team. Therefore, Celta Fortuna are ineligible for promotion to the La Liga as long as Celta Vigo plays there. Consequently, they must play at least one level below their main side and they are not eligible to play in the Copa del Rey. In addition, only under-23 players, or under-25 players with a professional contract, can switch between senior and reserve teams.
History
The club was founded in 1927 as Turista Sport Club. In the late 1980s, a merger with Gran Peña FC was proposed, but eventually Turista was taken over by Celta de Vigo in 1989 and renamed Celta Turista.
In the 1988–89 season, Club Turista played in the Regional Preferente, the fifth tier of Spanish football, and finished in first place with 57 points. It first competed in the third division in 1992–93, being relegated the following campaign. In 1995, in order to comply with the new Royal Spanish Football Federation regulations, the club changed its denomination to the Celta de Vigo B. In the 1996–97 season, the club finished in 19th place in Segunda División B and relegated back to the fourth division.
In the 2018–19 season, Celta B came close to relegation, but retained their place in Segunda División B after finishing 16th out of 20 teams. In March 2023, the club changed its name to Celta Fortuna in honour of Celta's predecessor club Real Fortuna FC.
