History edit

Founded in 2002 as the successor of several clubs dating back to 1927, Laudio reached the fourth tier of Spanish football (Tercera División) a year later. In 2012 the club won its group, but lost 3–0 on aggregate in the playoff final to San Fernando CD.[1] In winning that group, the club qualified for the first time to the Copa del Rey, where they lost in the first round at home by a single goal to neighbours SD Eibar.[2]

Again the group winners, Laudio made the playoffs in 2013 and defeated Mar Menor FC in the final via a goal from Germán Beltrán.[3] In the subsequent cup run, they dispatched Real Unión and Écija Balompié before a penalty shootout elimination in the third round at home to CD Olímpic de Xàtiva.[4]

Laudio's only season in Segunda División B in 2013–14 ended with relegation in 17th place. However, the club was given a further demotion back to the regional leagues due to wage backlogs of €200,000 to its players.[5]
