History

The club was founded on February 19, 2013 and in 6 days, on February 25, it was registered in General Registry of Sports Entities of Extremadura.[2] Mérida UD was dissolved later in 2013 and Mérida AD bought their place in Tercera División.[3]

On 30 May 2015, the club was promoted to Segunda División B after defeating CD Laredo 2–1 on aggregate in the playoffs.[4] On 27 August that year, the team competed in the Copa del Rey for the first time, losing 0–3 at home to Peña Sport FC in the opening round.[5]

In 2017–18, the club were given a bye to the second round of the cup, where they lost 2–0 at CF Fuenlabrada.[6] The season ended with relegation back to the fourth tier after a 2–2 aggregate defeat (away goals) to Coruxo FC in the relegation play-offs,[7] but the club bounced back a year later with a penalty shootout win against UD Socuéllamos.[8]
