Merida

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

On 30 May 2015, the club was promoted to Segunda División B after defeating CD Laredo 2–1 on aggregate in the playoffs. 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.

In 2017–18, the club were given a bye to the second round of the cup, where they lost 2–0 at CF Fuenlabrada. 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, but the club bounced back a year later with a penalty shootout win against UD Socuéllamos.

After a league restructuring in 2021, Mérida was placed in the new fourth-tier Segunda División RFEF. That season, they came runners-up in their group to Córdoba CF and achieved promotion via the play-offs with a 2–0 extra-time win over CD Teruel.
