History edit

Founded in 1975, Atzeneta only played regional football until 2018, when it achieved promotion to Tercera División.[1] The club reached the sixth position in their first campaign, and later appointed former international footballer David Albelda as their coach.[2]

Under Albelda, the club reached their first-ever promotion to Segunda División B on 26 July 2020, after beating CD Alcoyano in the play-offs.[3]
