Iván Forte Ortega (born 25 August 1988) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a midfielder for CD Eldense B.
Born in Elda, Province of Alicante, Forte finished his youth career with local Alicante CF, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2007–08 season. On 20 December 2008 he played his first game with the main squad, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–3 away loss against Real Zaragoza in the Segunda División championship;[1] he appeared in a further five league games until the end of the campaign, which ended in relegation.
On 27 June 2011, after dropping another level with the Valencian, Forte joined Ontinyent CF in Segunda División B.[2] On 7 July of the following year he signed with Racing de Ferrol in Tercera División,[3] achieving promotion in his first season and contributing with 37 games and three goals to the feat.
After leaving Racing in 2016, Forte represented CD Ebro in the third level and helped CF La Nucía to achieve promotion to that category, before signing with CD Eldense in the fourth tier on 4 January 2021; he returned to the club he represented as a youth 15 years later.[4] With the latter side, he achieved three consecutive promotions as they returned to the second division after a 59-year absence,[5] but left on 7 July 2023.[6]
On 13 September 2023, however, Forte returned to Eldense, but to play for the reserves in the Lliga Comunitat, sixth tier.[7]
